Parent Options in OpenCart

OpenCart Parent-child Options is a powerful module that allows you to manage the display of product options based on dependency logic. This solution turns the standard OpenCart options block into a smart and dynamic system, where child options become visible only when specified conditions are met.

In standard OpenCart, all options are always displayed. But what if you want certain options to appear only after others have been selected? For example, the buyer first selects the type of material, and only then its color or size. This is where this module comes into play. It allows you to create flexible visibility rules, making the product interface logical and convenient.

Main characteristics

Conditional logic for displaying options

• Setting up dependencies between options directly in the product card
• Show child options when certain parent option values are selected
• Support two logic modes:
  • And - all specified parent values must be selected
  • OR - one of the specified values is sufficient

Cascading dependencies

• Ability to build multi-level chains: a child option can be a parent for the next one

Integration with admin panel

• Visibility settings are easily edited in the Options tab in the product admin panel.
• Support for editing orders in the admin panel, taking into account the same display rules
