Product Extras

There are a number of ways you can use extras. We consider broadly though they can be grouped into three types; price, personalisation or promotion. More on these can be found here 

For an example of a price-based Product Extras, for a pint of Stella beer we could create four separate products for a Half Pint, Pint, Stella Shandy or Stella Top, however this would take time and make it hard for users to easily find their preferred product. Our solution therefore is Product Extras.

On the product, press the edit button and you will see the following page appear. 

The option created here can be used again, so if we add another beer product we can use this option again.  Therefore, we have called this “Beer Options” as you can see at the bottom of the image, so it’s easy to find for the next product.   

On the option, now click the More button, and you should see a table like the one below. 

 

First, add an option name – this will be what the user will see. For this option, we are asking the customer to choose a size, so the text is “What Size?”.

The Min / Max indicates how many options can be chosen by your customer. As you are asking your customer to choose a size, you need to have at least one answer but there can only be one, so the minimum is one and the maximum is one, i.e. make one choice only. 

 

Input some text for the potential answers, along with a price, and press + to add. As you can see for our Stella Artois, we have asked the user if they want a Half or a Pint. 

An important point  you will see in the image is that our price of Half is noted as 0, which would be a bargain. The reason for this is that in Product Extras, the price is the additional price to be paid. When we created our Stella Artois, we already added a price of 4, as this would be our cheapest option. For a Pint, we have input 3.5 which would make the total price at checkout 7.5 (4 + 3.5). 

 

It is possible, if you wish, to leave the price on the product page as zero, then have the full price of each option in the extra section. 

 

Finally, for our example, we also wanted to offer our customer a shandy or larger top, so have created another option with the text as “Make it a”, then created the two options of Shandy & Top. Note that on the min / max we have set the minimum at 0 and max of 1. This is because it is not a requirement of the order, your customer can choose this if they wish but the order can progress without any input here if it is not required.
