I have to configure my magento store so that my customers can order configurable products when they are out of stock.
Because these products are out of stock, they do not appear on the products page.
I did find a way to show them the products page (system-->configuration-->inventory-->Display Out of Stock Products) but because the product is out of stock, the customer can't order it.
Anyone an idea on how to configure my site so the customer can buy out of stock configurable products?
I'm using Magento 1.5.0.1
In Configuration > Inventory an option exits to display products out of stock. This would be a good place to look.
EDIT: Also if you want the ability for the customer to purchase the product you need to allow products to be back ordered in the following configuration tab.

I have set Stock management Yes but My website have only three option, i cant put Qty of product. Please help me. My magento version is 1.9.3
Configurable product do not have the Quantity field. They are not physical products, so they can't have exact qty amount.
If all associated products of a configurable product are out of stock, then configurable product itself is considered out of stock.
Further more, under System -> Config -> Catalog -> Inventory, you can choose if Magento show render out of stock products on the frontend. Maybe this is something that you actually want?
We have a bunch of bundle packages and if one of the items is not available, the bundled product will show "out of stock" which is good. However, the price will show the amount of the available products.
Is there a way to show the full price to include both the available AND unavailable items? Or to just hide the price completely if an item in the bundle is out of stock as this can upset customers when they see a lower price compared to the full price when bundled product is available with all simple items in stock.
Example: http://screencast.com/t/vIKSfcXUQA , that out of stock bundled product is actually over $600 when all items are in stock.
EDIT: Bundle Product price options are set to Dynamic and price view is set to "As low as"
Login in to your Magento Admin go to System > Configuration.
On the left column, under Catalog, go to Inventory.
Under the tab Stock Options, you have a Display Out of Stock Products which you can set to "No".
If that did not work, then Magento is not allowing such a thing, I'm afraid.

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.

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.
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.
