Use this article to create a modifier group on the Modifiers tab of Shop+ Products and add its items and prices. Modifiers are the choices a customer makes when ordering an item – milk type for a latte, toppings for a burger, size of a side. In Shop+ you build a modifier group once and then attach it to as many products as you like.
Where do I create a modifier group?
To create a modifier group, in the left sidebar click Shop+ → Products, then click the Modifiers sub-tab. The Modifiers list shows every group with its external title, minimum and maximum selections, and the number of items. Click Create.
What goes in the Group Information card?
Group Name – the internal name of the modifier group, for example Milk Choice.
External Name (Online) – the name customers see, for example Choose your milk.
Description – optional helper text for staff.
How do I set the selection type and min/max selections?
In the modifier group's Configuration settings, Selection Type decides how the choices are presented: Single Choice, Dropdown, Multi Select, Range, Collapsible, Text Box and several specialised builders.
Set the Minimum Selection and Maximum Selection (1 and 1 for "pick exactly one"). The Minimum Selection list starts at 1; there is no 0 option. To make the group optional, leave Minimum Selection blank. Blank means a minimum of zero, so the customer can skip the group. Tick Available Online so the group is offered on the online store; Order to Table is on by default but has no effect, because Stackably does not offer Order to Table ordering. The Products picker lets you attach the group to products from here; this guide attaches it from the product form instead (see Attaching modifier groups to a product).
How do I add the modifier items?
To add the modifier items, click + Add Item for each choice. Give each item a Label, an External Title and a Price (0 for no extra charge). The item row also has columns for description, quantity, unit, strikethrough price, tags, nutrition, min/max, badge and more – scroll right to see them.
Here we added Whole Milk at $0, Oat Milk at $0.75 and Almond Milk at $0.75.
How do I save the modifier group?
To save the modifier group, scroll down and click Save Modifier.
Back in the Modifiers list, use the search box to find the group. The row shows Min 1, Max 1 and 3 modifiers.
The ⋮ menu at the end of the row in the Modifiers list offers Add to Special Mods, Edit, Duplicate and Delete.
