How to remove required field and add into shopping cart page in magento? Please advice me

You are using the wrong kind of products. Configurable product options are always required.
I think you need to look at using grouped or bundled products to do what you want.

Configurable products for different product sizes and price

I am trying to make a store for car care chemicals in Magento for online buyers and company distributors.
Each chemical has a size option - 0.5 liters, 5 liters, 207 liters
And the above options have price difference depending upon the customer is a normal buyer or a distributor.
I have made a configurable product, but the price in the
"Super product attributes configuration" overrides the Group pricing in the simple products.
Can somebody please suggest the right way?
You have to create a attribute "size" as dropdown with all possible sizes.
When you add the product you have to choose one of them.
Magento will not take into the account the simple products' price of a configurable one. Simple products' prices are ignored. if you want to sell a simple product X having price $120 and a simple product B ($130) then set configurable product's price to $120 and add products you want to associate with this configurable product. After adding them click on 'Associated Products' tab which opens a block named Super product attributes configuration, which contains options and price differences and set the prices accordingly as described in attached image.
Moreover There's an extension that allows you to use simple product prices instead of price differences Since it's free extension. The extension is "Simple Configurable Products(SCP)".

Showing message while adding configurable product to cart (magento)

While adding configurable product from product list page to cart showing a warning like "Please specify the product's option(s)." in magento version 1.7.0.2.
Any ideas?
Yes this is because configurable product are association of simple product, customer have to choose one option from dropdown of simple product, and this is required field, so if you add to cart from product list then it will give you this error. Because you have to choose one option.

Associating additional products to be bought while buying a product in magento

I am developing a magento shopping cart for selling some products. When the customer has chosen his product and wants to check out the product, I also want him to select some associated products that he would like to add to his cart. This association I should be able to make in the magento admin panel.
A working example of this is on this site.
Here is a screenshot of the requirement:

I am using Magento shopping cart for my application. I would like to know if there is an existing extension that allows us to do this or if I will have to code something on my own.
Thanks for your help.
Built in already. RTFM:

Cross-Sells Cross-sells display after a product has already been added
to the shopping cart. In this design package, three products are
randomly picked from the products that are marked as cross-sells of
all the products in the shopping cart. To add cross-sell items to a
product: Log in to the Magento admin Navigate to Catalog -> Manage
Products Find the product you want to add cross-sells to Select and
edit this product Select the Cross-sells tab From the products grid
that appears, check any products you’d like to mark as cross-sells
(press “Reset Filter” to see all products) Once a product has been
checked, the “Position” field opens up. This determines the sort
order of the cross-sells in the shopping cart. If you have multiple
products in the cart they are randomly selected, so the sort order
will not take effect. Press “Save” In the front-end, add the product
you just edited to the shopping cart.
Clearly you need to style up your suggested products and how and when they appear in the customer journey. It may take work to get it right but it can all be done.

Magento Shopping Cart Rule not getting simple product attribute values

On a client's store we have configurable products based on a custom weight attribute (4kg, 10kg, 12.5kg etc...). I've set up a discount rule so that the discount only applies to products that are above 4Kg.
However, i realised the discount is also applied to 4Kg products. It seems that it's not pulling the attribute from the relevant simple product but from the configurable product. When trying with SKUs it was pulling the SKU of the configurable product rather than the simple product.
Has anyone been able to get around that? I'm using Magento 1.5.1
thanks

magento configurable products options

In my store i have all the products as configurable products and there is no simple products displayed on store. Everything goes fine but then i noticed one problem.
After adding a product to cart by choosing the simple product from the configurable product page, i still gets configurable products sku in the cart , also it maintains through out the session. So we cant track actually which product sell.
Is it problem with any configuration or should i do anything to catch the simple products sku instead of configurable product SKU.
Please help me
This is probably a bit late if your store is filled with configurable products, but I've found this product a lifesaver in the past:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/Matt+Dean/extension/596/simple-configurable-products
It basically just adds the simple product to the cart using the simple product's price as the buying price. Custom options must also be added to the simple products rather than the config products.
As a result the purchased item is the simple product SKU rather than the configurable product.
