Product Addon with Quantity
Under Consideration
It appears that one cannot create a product addon and allow the customer to specify the quantity they desire.
This would be usefull in a scenario where I want to sell a dedicated server (the product) and allow a customer to specify the quantity of IP addresses (the addon) they wish to purchase.
You can do it by setting up configurable options (option type: quantity). Simply create a group (setup > product/services > configurable options) and assign it to your servers, than add a new configurable option.
A Product Addon also does not work because it does not provide quantity options.
A Product Bundle can work, but its only a work around. It is still a product bundle and it is advertised as such. It also has a different setup and pricing method and that is not the intended use of a bundle.
Ideally, I want to setup a product and be able to assign an option to that product. That option should have its own pricing and quantity controls. I would also want to the ability to choose another existing product to use as the option. For example: I have one product which is a dedicated server and another product which is a IP address. These two products can be sold separately or together.
Obviously I'm not a native english speaker but hope to havin' got the point. The ability to add some options to basic product is by using Configurable Options with groups. I'm not saying that your request isn't a good one but rather trying to give some hints and help you to get things done without waiting next release and maybe some improvements from this point of view. Play with demo and if you can't find the way to do it, I'll make some screenshots for you.
@Mike: Indeed, sometimes I'd like to have a custom solution based on WHMCS's core and create own stuff without needing them to appreciate if our requests are important or not. IMHO is WHMCS's interest to get a better "complete solution" and attract more customers or avoid loosing'em.
We have a use case that definitely needs multiple quantities of product addons.
We sell blocks of additional bandwidth on a pay as you go basis configured as product addons. The customer need to be able to specify how much bandwidth they want to buy. For example, they might want 8GB which would be 8 X 1GB addons. Currently they would have to go through the whole process 8 times which is not ideal.
Please allow multiple quantities for product addons for existing products.
Same here, we're using WHMCS to sell our Bookings software and need the possibility for a customer to purchase SMS packages and also additional user access license. We now use addons for this but if a customer wants to purchase an additional 3 user access licenses, there is no easy way to do this.
This will be very helpful when it becomes a reality! For example - we offer Google Apps setup as a service for customers of specific product. Additionally, migration of email billed on a per address basis (could even be setup on a per MB/GB transfer rate).
Configurable options - no go
Addons - would be simple if we could have setup fee plus quantity of addresses to migrate!
same here, i was very surprized that it was not posible.
We are trying to sell IP phones with our PBX hosting service and we would like to allows the customer to purchase a quantity of each model during the checkout process.
Look forward to this feature.
Not sure if WHMCS admin's can combine these two feature requests:
https://requests.whmcs.com/responses/expand-product-addons-functionality
This was about to implemented when they had the voting system in the old forum but during the migration to this requests forum it got lost.
Yes,
Also, the Addon payment period must be related to the product period
for example , It is not logic to see an order for 6 month VPS with only 1 month cPanel
We need this!
I'm not quite sure why this isn't standard as there are so many possibilities where you'd want to limit Product Addons due to quantity. I'd also like to note that if you were to add quantities to Product Addons you should also add quantities to Configurable Options products as I've had to use these in lieu of Product Addons a number of times in the past and needed such functionality.
It's a very very important feature . All my clients are asking me when they want to order a Dedicated Server .
Mostly they need more than an IP .
This is much needed feature. Looking forward to see this in new upgrades version 6.3!!
Would be nice to have "add-on" match the Configurable Options Quantity. Perhaps some reference in the configurable option quantity to map to "add-ons" .
Yes ++
Match the quantity of Configurable options to add-ons
This would need to match the billing cycle, and be associated with the product for upgrades/downgrades.
Product Addons within WHMCS are in need of a long overdue overhaul. I started this 'request' over 4 years ago before this request forum was even in place:

Hopefully we can get enough support for all of these requests to get WHMCS to address the lack of features within 'addons' side of WHMCS.

Hi!
I really need to let my clients specify how many of a given addon they want. I need to set a one-time payment option and relate it to a given product, so my clients can specify how much they need of that one-time payment thing with their new product. This is only possible through an addon because of the different payment period that is needed.
I hope you can include this on v7.2!
Thanks!
We need this! We rely on the configurable options to specify quantity, and need to do the same for product addons. We have such a manual process now till this can be fixed, since we cannot expose it on the order form.
I am out of votes, have been for a while, don't know how to get more... I think this is a must have... I don't want to rely on configuration, I'd rather be able to use the addons... because some things are true addons, not "configuration" of the main product... so having a qty SHOULD be really easy, and already done. Please, Please do it for the next upgrade.
Agree, I voted on this over a year ago. Hoping to see something. Totally kills our ordering process for the same reason as others have mentioned.
Please add this on 7.9 or 8!
