You have the ability to set up custom options for your the products you sell online. This can include colors, styles, sizes, and more.
From your E-COMMERCE control panel, mouse over SELL ONLINE and select PRODUCTS or SERVICES, as needed.
Click on a product name to open its settings, then click the OPTIONS tab.
STEP 1: ADD OPTIONS
Click on the NEW OPTION button. You will be prompted to enter the option name, which serves as the category label for the options you want customers to select from. For example: "Colors," "Sizes," or "Styles."
Note: Do not enter the option choices in this area. The actual colors, sizes, or styles are entered as sub-options.
Here you can also make an option required for your client to select. For example, if you need to know the size of a t-shirt you want to require that they select from those options before adding the product to their cart.
Once you enter a name, click ADD OPTION to continue.
STEP 2: ADD SUB-OPTIONS
Next up is creating sub-options, by clicking the NEW SUB-OPTION button.
Now you can enter your sub-options under the field for sub-option name. You can also enter an additional prices for the sub-options, if needed. If the option is colors, the sub-options is where you enter black, white, green, blue, etc. each as separate sub-options.
The OPTIONAL TEXT FIELD will give your client the ability to provide special instructions when they place the order such as personalization. To enable this set the Required field to YES and enter in a label such as SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS. Enter a description to prompt your customer to enter in the requested information.
Important Note: The Sub-Options appear as choices in a drop-down selection list to your customers, with the top item in the list already selected by default. For that reason, your first Sub-Option must always be the default choice. For example, if you are creating color choices, your first Sub-Option should be something like As Shown.
To save your information, choose add option at the bottom.
After you've entered the first sub-option and clicked SAVE CHANGES, click on the arrow pointing back labeled OPTIONS. This will bring you back one step and allow you to click on NEW SUB-OPTION again to continue adding sub-options until all have been added.
You can add multiple OPTIONS with multiple SUB-OPTIONS as shown below. This will allow you to give your customers more combinations of product or service options, saving you from creating separate products for each option!
