Adding Product Options like size and color choices

Product Options are choices that customers must select to personalize a product during checkout. Examples are sizes and colors but you can create any options needed. To add options to your products follow these steps.

Creating the Options

  1. Click Store in the left admin menu then Options and click green Insert button to add a new option or click the edit button next to an existing Option
  2. Enter an Option Name and select Type. The following types are available: radio button, checkbox, optional text field, a file upload, date, time, or date & time.
  3. Set Sort Order (if applicable.. for example if you have items that need both color and size choices and you want the color dropdown to show before the size dropdown on the product)
  4. Click the + Add Option Value button to add a value. For example if you were creating a size option here is where you would add the sizes S,M,LG, etc. Repeat until  you have added all the values you need. You can come back and more later too.

Adding newly created Options to products

  1. To link options to the product navigate to Store then click Products and select the product you would like to add options for.
  2. Click Edit button to edit the product and select that product’s Option tab
  3. Begin typing the name of the option you created for this product, and a drop-down list will appear with all the options that match. (S, M, L, XL, etc.)
  4. Set Required to YES if you want customer to be forced to select an option, or NO to let them check out without choosing.
