Product options gives you the ability to supply additional products. You can also add options such as colour and size to the chosen item.

You can create a large number of options which can be unique to each product. They can also be used as a universal option over many products.

These options can be two forms of text input, a date picker, drop down boxes, radio buttons and tick boxes.

In addition, each option can change the price of the main item. It also offers the ability to change discount level login prices.

An example of the type of options is shown here;

The product option feature is administered in two steps. First, the creation of the options in the style you need. The second is assigning the options to your products.

To administer these settings login to your administration area. Click on the tab "Content" Click on the link "Item Options" which can be found under the sub-heading "Products".

When the main "Item Options " page loads, a list of available options will be shown, assuming you have already set some up. To remove an option click the "delete" button. To administer an option click the "modify" button next to the option name.

To add a new product option you have two choices which have several ways of displaying. If you want to add a text box or memo box for example to collect date of birth, or ask for a comment, click the Add "new text / memo" button. To add a drop down menu, a radio option, or a tick box click the button "add new drop / radio".

When the page loads you will be able to set up any of the following types of options. These are listed in detail. To make the changes click the "submit" button.

Options for add new text / memo

• Once you have clicked the "add new" button you will see a series of options. The first is type which allows you to select what this option will be; a memo or a text field.
• The width option allows you to specify how wide either the memo or text box will appear on your product. The height option is used exclusively for memo boxes.
• Administration name allows you to name this option and it is not seen by the client.
• Title / name allows you to tell the client what this option is; an example would be Comment.
• The required setting allows you to make sure the client completes the product option and fills out this field.
• Learn more. Here you can add additional data to aid the clients by giving them extra information. This shows on the client side as a clickable link to a pop up and is useful for describing options and requirements for it.
• If you have date picker turned on, you can select the option here. This works for text boxes ONLY.

Options for add new drop / radio

• Once you have completed the main settings you can list your drop down or radio options in the column title / name. An example here would be to list these in separate fields, colours red, yellow, green etc.
• Default. This allows you to have one of the options already selected for your client. It helps speed up the filling out of the product option and is recommended.

Create a tick box

• To create a tick box such as tick to accept terms,  follow the steps above for adding Options for drop / radio. However, rather than supplying a list of options to choose from only add one. The system will automatically show this as a tick box.

Once you have created your product option click the "submit" button to save your changes. You can now go to your product and assign your newly created options.
