Products - Options

Product - Options Overview

This section exists so that the user may add Options to the products in the cart. For instance, different colors, sizes, etc. The Options may also have different prices than the original product price. For example a product with name "American Eagle Gold Coin" may have options like: "1 Coin $100", "5 Coins $480", "10 Coins $900".

Options may be displayed on your website in a variety of ways including with checkboxes, radio buttons, text fields, select boxes, etc.

Additionally, you have the ability to create and configure product dependent options. For example, the store owner can configure product option Size:XXL to be available to the buyers only when they select Color:Red or Color:Blue.

You can also specify dependent product options that will appear on the generated webpages as an embedded dynamic content. When the customers select an option then all dependent options will be loaded dynamically.
