There are important differences between options and choices - understanding them will help you decide whether to use options, choices or a combination of both.

Options is used when the the user can select more than one option. These options can have costs associated with them.

• Example 1: you are running a sausage sizzle and would like to charge extra for onions and cheese.
• Example 2: you are selling a sandwich with 2 salad options included in the price, and the rest of the options at a cost of $1 each.

1. On the partner site select item editor, and check you are operating as the correct supplier.

2. Select the category the item is in, the items will pop up on the right hand pane on your screen.

3. Next to each item are four icons. Select the pencil icon to edit an existing item (or create a new item). 

4. Scroll down to the Options section 

• how many options are included in the base price (from 0 to any)
• how much each additional option will cost (from $0 to any).

6. Start adding your options on the Add line. There are no limits to the number of options you can add.

NOTE: you can not leave a blank option. If you add a line you don't need, click the rubbish bin icon to the right to delete it.

NOTE: the defaults are set to 0. If you do not add a price to this field, customers can add all options to their cart for no additional price.

Example 1 - no options included in base price		Example 2 - 2 options included in base price
A sandwich with spinach, carrot & cheese will cost an extra $3, as the user has selected 3 options.		A sandwich with spinach, carrot & cheese will cost an extra $1, as two of the three options are included in the original base price.

Ticking one of the options will include the option by default. We do NOT recommend this option in most cases. In the example below, every sandwich will come with spinach unless the customer UNTICKS the option. This can cause confusion as suppliers will only be alerted (via labels) if a customer removes the option (otherwise it is assumed to be included).

8. Reorder options by grabbing the = handle to the left of each option and dragging up or down.

9. Select Save Draft to save your changes (but not make them visible to your users), or Save & Publish to make your changes live on your shop site.
