Looking for product configurator plugin

I'm looking for a plugin that basically creates bundles by including other products depending on availability in the store that can be grouped into streams. For example for the base product named "Computer", where a customer can add streams called "SSDs", "RAM" and so forth where each stream contains a configurable set of other products.

Something similar to the following Shopware plugin would the the job nicely: https://store.shopware.com/en/dvsn89511 ... ndles.html

Have you searched the OpenCart marketplace for a suitable extension? As far as I remember, there are extension which allow for product options to be associated with other products.

If you can't find an extension, you could pay a developer such as ourselves or post a job in the Commercial Support Forum.

I have. Unfortunately I haven't found any so far, I found a product customizer (which is not what I'm looking for) and a plugin that hasn't been updated for a long time. Any useful tip would be much appreciated.

I was thinking about a module which allows you to add product as option, such as this one:
https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... on_id=7815

This touches on what I'm looking for indeed.
It's possible to categorize products into sections and it shows price reductions. So at least some thought went into this.
However,
  • "sub products"/options aren't listed as such at checkout and in the backend. This means that if a customer order multiple items it's impossible to know which "sub product" belongs to which main product, rendering it unusable.
  • It's not possible to limit quantities of "sub products" or have a more detailed level of options regarding quantities.
  • Listing "sub products" that are otherwise invisible would ideally also be be required for my use-case.
  • unclear whether it supports dual prices (excl./incl. VAT), though that should be easy to fix.
Unfortunately the developer is unresponsive.
