A modifier group is a list of options, and each option has more settings than its name and price. This article walks through every field on an option, including the ones behind More settings, so you know what each one does and when to fill it in.
Opening an option
In the left sidebar click Shop+, stay on Products and click the Modifiers tab. Open a group with the three-dot menu and Edit, or click Create for a new one. In the Modifier Items card click + Add Item to add an option, or click an existing option's row to expand it. The row header always shows the option's name and price, and you can drag the handle on the left to reorder options.
Name
Look: an optional image for the option, plus a color dot.
Name: what staff see. Type a new name and press Enter, or pick a name that already exists in another group so the same option is spelled the same way everywhere.
Description: a short line shown under the name, for example "Adds a side and a drink".
Online name: an optional different name for the online store. Leave it empty to use the Name.
Price
Price: the upcharge added to the item when this option is chosen. Leave it at 0 for options that do not change the price.
Compare at: an optional higher "was" price for the option.
Tag prices: click Add to give customers with a specific tag, such as Wholesale, a different price for this option.
By weight: prices the option by weight. This needs a scale at the station.
Quantity
Qty and Unit: the amount this option represents, for example 1 Each or 2 oz.
Min and Max: how many of this one option can be chosen. A new option starts at Min 1 and Max 2. Set Max to 1 for an option that is either on or off, such as whipped cream. Raise Max to let a customer order several of the same option, such as up to 3 extra shots.
The option's Max works together with the group's Maximum Selection. In this example the Espresso Extras group allows up to 4 in total and Extra Shot allows up to 3. Two extra shots count as 2 of the 4.
More settings
Click More settings at the bottom of the expanded option to show the extra fields. Click Hide extra settings to fold them away again.
Nutrition and display
Calories and Kilojoules: nutrition values for the option.
Delivery: a delivery setting for the option. It starts at None.
Badge: a small label on the option. It starts at None.
Pizza and tea builder
Hide from builder keeps the option out of the Pizza Builder or Tea Builder graphic while leaving it in the group.
Online store group
Type the same text on several options to group them under one heading on the online store, for example "Meats" and "Vegetables" inside a toppings group. The point of sale ignores this field.
Follow-up modifier groups
Pick one or more other modifier groups here and they are shown only after this option is selected. This is how a combo option asks for a side and a drink. See "Follow-up modifier groups" in this collection for a full walkthrough.
Saving
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save Modifier. Changes to a shared group apply to every product the group is attached to.
Which fields most businesses use
Always: Name and Price.
Often: Max, for extras that can be ordered more than once, and Description, for options that need a word of explanation.
Restaurants with combos: Follow-up modifier groups.
Online stores with long lists: Online store group, Online name and Look.
Wholesale or member pricing: Tag prices.
