Product Modifiers
A product modifier is what allows customers or staff to modify a specific product to suit customer preferences or needs, and allow the store to optionally charge for the increased cost of that modifier.
For an industry like coffee, a product modifier could be "Milk" where you require a selection by the customer for what type of milk they want in their coffee (Beef Milk, Almond Milk, Oat Milk, no milk). They may want to charge extra for Almond and Oat Milk, but not for Beef Milk.
- Allows customers to customize products appropriately
- Allows retailers to charge extra for modifiers where applicable
- Allows retailers to manage ingredient inventory more easily
Modifier: Modifiers allow customers to personalize or add to or remove from the original product, such as adding milk to coffee, or adding extra protein to a sandwich.
Modifier Group: A Custom static group of similar modifiers. Used when applying groups of modifiers to products for quicker setup.
Logic: Modifiers are added to Modifier Groups. Modifier Groups are added to categories, sub-categories or products.
