This task assumes that the prerequisite task of configuring the product shell for the renewal products has been configured according to this Configuration Guide.

  • Go to Catalog > Products and choose to Edit the product.

  • Assign the product to a category that has been set up to be hidden. (Instructions on hiding a category here)

    1. These products are set up as very simple products, so define the SKU and Price in the Product info section, unless they are going to be leveraging Aspenware Payment Plan functionality. 

Info

NOTE: IF a product is a renewal product and is going to leverage Aspenware Payment Plan functionality, the following setup is recommended because these products cannot have the product defined on the product info tab and must have the SKU and price defined in the attribute combination table.  

  • Start by creating a new product attribute called Payment Plan from Catalog > Attributes > Product Attributes

  • Define a single default value called ‘Payment Plan’

  • Go to all settings and add ‘Payment Plan’ to the comma-separated list for the value of this setting: 'catalogsettings.hiddenattributes'

  • Then go Catalog > Products to edit the desired Renewal payment plan product

  • Go to the Attributes section and click Add a new attribute.

    1. From the Attribute drop-down, select ‘Payment Plan’

    2. Enter ‘[Hidden]’ in Text Prompt field

    3. Check Is Required

    4. Set Control Type to 'Radio Button List'

  • Click Save and Continue Edit

  • In the Values section, click Add a new value.

    1. Set Attribute value type to ‘Simple’

    2. Name it 'Payment Plan'

    3. Check Is preselected

    4. Do not set the other options.

  • Save it.

  • Go back to product details and click on the Attribute combinations tab to set up only one attribute combination row in the combination table with the SKU and deposit price.

    1. Select Generate several combinations button.

    2. From the modal only check ‘Payment Plan’ and click Generate.

    3. Then add the product header code in the SKU field and deposit price in the Price field.

  • Click Save.

  • Go to the Attributes section and click Add a new attribute to add the AssignedTo attribute. This will lock down the assigned customer so that guests cannot change these options.

    1. From the Attribute drop-down, select ‘AssignedTo’.

    2. Enter ‘{ "lock": true } [Assigned To]’ in Text Prompt field.

    3. Set Control Type to 'Text'.

  • Click Save and Continue Edit

  • From here, add desired add-on products to the product. A renewal product cannot have a core attribute added to it but can have add on attributes. Follow the configuration guide for simple add-on products to add standard add-ons to the renewal product.

    • Attributes used to associate add-on products to renewal products must use the Control type of ‘Checkboxes’.

Note

IMPORTANT: For renewal products, something needs to be typed in the Text prompt field for EVERY attribute, though this will not show for customers.

  • Next, open the Specification attributes section and select Add attribute to add the ‘IsRenewal’ specification attribute. This will ensure that if someone does somehow locate the standard PDP for this renewal product they will not able to add it to the cart, and this product can only be added to the cart through the gated renewal page.

    • Choose ‘Custom text’ from the Attribute type drop-down.

    • Select the ‘IsRenewal’ attribute.

    • Type ‘Yes’ in the Value field.

    • Check Show on product details page.

    • Save it.

  • Save the overall renewals product.

2. Add Product Classifications to Renewal Product. 

  • Go to Aspenware Commerce > Product Classifications > Add Assignment, and select the hidden Category where the renewal product lives, and the renewal Product requiring assignment.

  • In the Classification table, click the Assign checkbox next to the following classifications

    • 'Requires Assignment''

    • ‘Is Renewal Product’

    • 'Renewal lock'

  • Click Add.

HINT: Products flagged with the renewal classifications will only be available on the (store URL)/renewal or (store URL)/linked products pages if the logged-in customer has previously purchased an RTP|One product component that links to this current product via product component link configuration.
