The following option types are available in your store:

• Drop-Down List allows the selection of one value from multiple choices. We suggest drop-down lists for a compact view of many choices.
• Radio Buttons allow selecting one value from multiple choices like product color or gift wrapping.
• Size allows selecting one option from multiple size choices.
• Checkboxes allow selection of several options at once. For example, you can use them when offering extras like pizza toppings.

Repeat the above steps to add more options (like color) if needed.

Here is how a product with different options looks in the storefront:

When creating drop-down list, radio button, and size option types, you can set default option values (for example, this pizza’s most popular size) that will be preselected for a faster customer checkout. If a shopper wants to order a product with other options (like other sizes), they need to choose them on the product page instead of the default options.

To select a default option value:

That’s it! After opening a product page, customers will see default option values as highlighted and preselected:

Here is an example of how shoppers are reminded to pick options after clicking the Add to Bag button:

That's it! You’ve added price modifiers to your option values.

Here’s how modifiers can look to customers in your storefront. The price changes immediately when they select an option:

After you add an option to a product in your store, you can make edits to it if you need. For example, if later you want to change option type or its name, or you want to make it required.

To edit an option:

You can change the order in which options and input fields appear on the product pages in your store. For example, if you want text fields to appear at the top of the page, before item sizes.

To rearrange options on the product page:

That’s it! Now product options and input fields will appear on the product page exactly in the order that you have set.

All the options your customers chose on product pages appear in the order details in your store admin. This information is also available in the admin and customer email notifications, as well as in the order invoices and in customer accounts.

To access option choices in the order details:

You can also download product option choices for your orders as a CSV file.

You can always add or update product options and input fields in bulk using Sauecommerce's built-in import tool. 

Also, you can easily update your product options and input fields using the Bulk Product Editor app from Sauecommerce App Market.

Bulk Product Editor helps you:

• update all your products in bulk or filter those you’d like to change
• update properties like price, weight, quantity, and more
• add and remove options and input fields (they all go under “options” in the app)
• add and remove option values
• import options with option values and input fields from CSV file (it's compatible with spreadsheets)
• enable and disable products in bulk

If you have any questions about the Bulk Product Editor, please contact the developer of the app directly.

You can delete options that exist in your store at any time. For example, if you no longer want to offer gift wrapping on the product page as you now offer it as a surcharge at checkout.
