Creating a Buying Guide
When you create a buying guide you have to go through the following steps[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Step 1 – Set Buying Guide Descriptions
- Set a Name
- Set a Description
- Assign it to a product category (right sidebar)
Step 2 – Setup General Information
In the general settings of each buying guide you can set a style (Text, Image or Modal) how the guide should appear (see below). Then you can set the progress style (breadcrumb or progress bar).
Next step is to set the position of the Buying Guide – if “After category description” for example does not work, then try another position. Problems with the position most of the time occur, because the Theme is not 100% WooCommerce compliant.
Enabling choices made will show your users the choices he has made at the end of the guide. Show on shop page will this current buying guide on the General WooCommerce Shop Page.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”339″ style=”vc_box_border” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1504694568531{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”features” personalization_rules=”%5B%7B%22country%22%3A%22AF%22%2C%22recurring_day%22%3A%221%22%2C%22start_date%22%3A%222017-04-06%22%2C%22start_time%22%3A%2200%3A00%22%2C%22end_date%22%3A%222017-04-06%22%2C%22end_time%22%3A%2223%3A55%22%2C%22device_type%22%3A%22computer%22%2C%22user_name%22%3A%224%22%2C%22user_cap%22%3A%22switch_themes%22%2C%22user_role%22%3A%22administrator%22%2C%22visits_minimum%22%3A%22100%22%2C%22visits_maximum%22%3A%22200%22%7D%5D”][vc_column][vc_column_text]
The Styles
Each Buying Guide can be configured with a different style.
Either as plain text, as an Image or as a Modal.
Step 3 – Create questions
Start creating your questions by setting the question itself. Then add a breadcrumb (important if you use progress breadcrumb style), create an intro text and a tooltip for your question if you want. Then you can enable a “Skip Choice” option and set a custom text for this.
If you select an WooCommerce Attribute as choices, this will disallow creating choices manually (see below).[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”334″ style=”vc_box_border” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1504694584369{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1491395979675{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Step 4 – Create Choices
If you do not want to create choices automatically from your WooCommerce attributes you can set them individually.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”335″ style=”vc_box_border” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1504694590466{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1491395979675{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Step 5 – Create a Choice manually
A choice consists of a name & assigned products. Lets say you have a question “Color?”, then you set your first choice to “Black” (or whatever color) and assign all black products to this choice.
Furthermore you can set a custom choice icon and tooltip if you like.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”336″ style=”vc_box_border” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1504694598249{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1491395979675{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
How do you create a follow up question? If they go for choice #2. then can you add follow up questions under choice #2 to narrow down the product selection?
You can simply create another question. Or what do you mean with follow up?
My first question has 5 Choices.
I would like to narrow down the products by adding more questions to EACH choice.
How do i do this?
Currently when I add the 2nd question; choice #1 & #2 are automatically allocated to [choice# 1 at Question 1] and Choice #3 to [choice #2 at question 1].
How do i direct what question goes under what choice? to make it a funnel question process that narrows down the product with each question.
How do i assign the guide to a page or a popup?
That is currently not possible.

i would like the question process to stop if they choose “KING SINGLE” and to continue if they choose “SINGLE”.
How do i do this?
Did you ever get a reply? Is it possible to have follow up questions or to stop the process at a specific question/reply?
Follow up / stop questions are not possible within current version of the plugin.
when do you anticipate it will be available?
Where do you create the questions? i’ve created a new buying guide but i only see general options?
Found it.. was a conflict with my theme.. works now.
Hi,
Can i change the text on the “Start Again” button?
