After reading this article you will be able to put a whole channel's products on a menu in one click, add or remove single products, give a product a fixed price that applies only on that menu, and confirm what is on the menu. The Manage Menu Products screen in Shop+ is where a menu's product list is kept; the menu itself (its days, hours and price adjustment) is created in Add Menu, covered in "Creating a scheduled menu and choosing which products are on it".
Where do I choose the products on a menu?
To choose the products on a menu, go to Shop+ → Products → Menus, click the ⋮ button at the end of the menu's row and click Manage Products. The Manage Menu Products screen opens with the filter bar at the top and the product table below it. Back at the top right returns you to the Menus list.
What do the filters at the top of Manage Menu Products do?
The filters at the top of Manage Menu Products decide which products are shown in the table, and the two green and red buttons act on exactly those shown products. The line under the title keeps count: for example "3 in menu · 1 showing · +3 new" means three products are on the menu, one is shown by the current filter, and three additions have not been saved yet.
Active only is on to start with and hides draft and archived products. Switch it off to include them (the All count rises, for example from 101 to 117).
The filter chips show counts for the current menu: All (every product), Online Store (products published to the online store), 3rd Party (products published to third-party channels), In Menu (products already on this menu) and Not In Menu (the rest). Click a chip to show only those products.
Search products... narrows the table to products whose name matches what you type, within the chosen filter.
Add visible to menu (N) puts every product currently shown in the table on the menu. N is the number it will add.
Remove visible from menu (N) takes every product currently shown off the menu. N is the number it will remove.
How do I add every product from a channel in one click?
To add every product from a channel in one click, filter by that channel first and then use Add visible to menu. Here the Online Store filter is used so the menu gets all 20 online products.
Click the Online Store chip (1). The table shows only products published to the online store and the count line reads "20 showing".
Click Add visible to menu (20) (2). Every shown product's In Menu column changes to Yes and the count line (3) now reads "20 in menu · 20 showing · +20 new".
Scroll to the bottom and click Save Changes (see "How do I save" below).
Tip: To take a whole channel off a menu, choose the In Menu chip, then click Remove visible from menu and save. The count line shows the pending removals, for example "-20 removed".
How do I add or remove a single product?
To add or remove a single product, find it in the table and use the checkbox at the start of its row. Search is the fastest way to find it.
Type part of the product's name in Search products..., for example "Garden Salad".
Tick the checkbox at the start of the row (1). The In Menu column for that product changes to Yes (2) and the count line (4) adds "+1 new". Untick the box to take the product off the menu again; its In Menu column goes back to No.
The Manage button (3) at the end of the row opens the product's menu pricing (next section).
Repeat for each product, then click Save Changes at the bottom.
How do I give a product a different price on this menu?
To give a product a different price on this menu, click Manage at the end of its row. The Manage Pricing dialog opens with the product's name in its title and three pricing modes.
Inherit product pricing (1) is the starting mode: the product keeps its normal price on this menu. The table shows "Inherit product price" in the Menu Pricing column.
Fixed price (2) lets you type a price that applies only on this menu. Click it, then type the amount in the Base Price box (3), for example 6.50 for a Garden Salad that normally costs $8.00.
Variant specific sets a menu price per variant and is greyed out for products that have no variants.
Click Save Pricing (4). The dialog closes and the product's Menu Pricing column now shows the fixed amount.
The pricing is not stored until you click Save Changes at the bottom of the screen.
How do I save my changes?
Nothing you tick, add, remove or price on Manage Menu Products is stored until you save. The Save Changes button sits in a bar at the bottom of the screen with a note of what is pending, for example "+3 to add".
Scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Click Save Changes (1).
The count line at the top drops its "+N new" or "-N removed" note and shows only "N in menu", which means the menu's product list and prices are stored.
How do I check which products are on the menu?
To check which products are on the menu, click the In Menu chip in the filter bar. The table lists only the menu's products, each with Yes in the In Menu column and its price mode in the Menu Pricing column. The In Menu chip's count is the number of products on the menu.
If you leave the screen with Back and come back through ⋮ → Manage Products, the same products show Yes and the same Menu Pricing, which confirms that the save worked.
When you have finished, the menu lists exactly the products you chose, each at its normal price or at the fixed price you gave it for this menu.
