If validation fails, the product cannot be added to the cart and a notice is displayed. In order to evaluate “Ownership”-type dependencies, customers are prompted to log in. Creating Dependencies To add dependencies to a product: Go to the Product Data > Dependencies tab. Use the Product Dependencies field to search for and add some products and/or variations. Choose a Dependency Type. Update to save your changes. The “Ownership” dependency type is evaluated by checking if the customer has purchased a required product in a previous order. The “Purchase” dependency type requires the customer to have a required product in the cart in order to purchase the dependent one. Ownership vs Purchase The plugin allows you to select between 3 different dependency types: Ownership: Access is granted only to customers that already own any of the products added to the Product Dependencies field. Purchase: The product can be purchased only in combination with any of the items added to the Product Dependencies field. Ownership is not taken into account. Either: Access is granted with ownership or purchase of any item added to the Product Dependencies field.
