An online window and door distributer is selling windows and doors online. SmithCart conditional variants allow one variant to depend on the value of another which are mutually exclusive. For example, the variant group “Door Track Type" is defined as the type of track that a hanging door uses to install into a ceiling. There are three ways that these doors are connected into the ceiling. You can use either the standard track that comes with the door at no charge, buy a track that installs flush with the ceiling called a "Recessed track", or use "Curved Track" if the door closes around a bend. These three choices are mutually exclusive. If you use standard track, you can't have recessed track. If you have curved track, you can't have either recessed or standard. All three of these types of track have different prices based on the number of feet ordered. When you select one type from the variant drop down, the appropriate "conditional variant" opens up to allow the user to enter the number of feet of track of the type selected in the dropdown. The number of feet is then multiplied to by the price per foot and added to the base price.
