Enable dependencies
Switches the conditions on for this stream.
From the help text: “A stream can be hidden or disabled until a definable condition (e.g. product A selected in stream B) is met.”
Dependencies and preselection
Three tools make sure the customer only sees what makes sense right now - and that they are not left facing an empty page.
Dependencies tab
Visibility
How the stream behaves while the conditions are not met.
- Hidden - the stream cannot be seen
- Disabled - the stream is visible but not usable
Conditions
For each condition you pick a stream as the reference and a type.
- Has any product
- Has a product from
- Has no product from
- Has no product
“Any stream” is available as a reference too. Several conditions work side by side; one fulfilled condition is enough.

Preselection tab
Preselected products
What is already chosen on the first visit.
Without a preselection the customer starts from zero. With one they immediately see a complete combination and its price.
Interplay with the listing price
If you maintain a preselection, set the listing price to match.
Otherwise the category names a “from” price while the product page, with its preselection, shows a different number.
A fixed bill of materials
Preselection plus Disable selection produces a group that only shows what is included.
Filter tab
Blocked products
Take individual products and variants out of the stream without changing the source.
From the help text: “If you have a T-shirt in the variants red, yellow and green in the stream but only want to make the variants red and yellow available for selection, you can select and block the variant green here.”

Frequently asked questions
Can a stream depend on several conditions?
Yes. Several conditions can be created. As soon as at least one is met, the stream becomes visible and active.
Hidden or disabled - which is better?
Disabled when the customer should know a step is still coming. Hidden when the group simply plays no part in their selection.
How do I block a variant without deactivating it?
On the Filter tab. The product stays in the catalogue and in the product group but is not selectable in this stream.
