README

Magento 2 has Configurable Products, but some people prefer simple products for SEO or visibility on the listing pages. This module adds an alternative method to show simple products, but link the simple products to other products, as variants on their own page.

Install

Download the .zip of this repository, place the contents in app/code/Fruitcake/SimpleConfigurableVariants and enable the module.

php bin/magento module:enable Fruitcake_SimpleConfigurableVariants
php bin/magento setup:upgrade

Configuration

In the admin config, go to Catalog -> Catalog -> Simple Configurable products and enable the module.

You can choose to hide out-of-stock products and/or unavailable options.

Usage
