Ordering Matrix Items
Summary
Some items come in variants — for example, in several sizes and colours. For these items, you do not order a quantity, but a quantity per combination.
Such items cannot be added to the cart from the result list. You can recognise them by the fact that on the item page, instead of Add to cart, the button Open matrix is shown.
Procedure
- Click the item in the result list to open the item page.
- Click Open matrix.
- Enter quantities — individually or together, see below.
- Check Items and Total quantity at the bottom left.
- Click Apply documented quantities to cart.
The message “x items have been applied to the cart.” appears. The matrix is then empty again.
Enter quantities individually
Enter the quantity directly into the cell, or adjust it using − and +.
Cells with a × are not a valid combination — that variant does not exist. Nothing can be entered there.
Enter quantities together
If you need the same quantity for several variants:
- Click the desired cells. They will be highlighted dark and receive a check mark.
- The bar above shows how many cells are selected.
- Use − and + in this bar to set the quantity — it applies to all selected cells at once.
- Use Deselect to end the selection. The entered quantities remain.
This saves time if, for example, you want to order ten pieces of each size of a colour.
Packaging units
You can enter any quantity in the matrix. Unlike with the Excel import, the shop does not check here whether the quantity matches the packaging unit of the item.
Please therefore pay attention yourself to the units in which the item is delivered.
What you should check before applying
Important: The matrix cannot be reopened. After applying, individual items are in the cart — one item per combination. You can only correct there, line by line.
Therefore, check the two values at the bottom left beforehand:
| Display | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Items | how many combinations you have documented |
| Total quantity | how many pieces that is in total |
Warning: After applying, the mask is empty but still open. If you accidentally document again and click Apply documented quantities to cart once more, the items will be added additionally to the cart.
Warning: Back to item discards documented quantities without enquiry as long as you have not applied them. There is no safety prompt and no general information.
