A Group of Options is just what it sounds like
- A Set Of Options that the customer can choose
from before ordering the product by using a Scroll-Down
List, a Radio List, Check Boxes, or Quantity Fields.
You can have an unlimited
number of Groups of Options within a
product. For example if you wanted to ask customers
to select both color and size for your product,
you would need to have 2 separate Groups of
Options, one that contains several options
for selecting a size, and one that contains several
options for selecting a color. To add a new Group
of Options to any Product with Options,
right-click on the "Options"
icon located inside the Product with Options,
and click on "Add Group of Options".
Fill out the screen based on your needs. All fields
are described below:
Group
of Options Fields
The Name
and Description
Fields are required and will be displayed as your
question to the customers on this Product's
ordering page. Fill these fields out in a similar
fashion to the image above. The Descripton
field will support general HTML tags to further
enhance the appearance of the text and is therefore
not limited in its number of characters (see HTML
Tags for more details).
Additional Description
- Larger
space for a wider description available for notices
or other information of interest to a buyer. This
field will support general HTML tags to further
enhance the appearance of the text and is therefore
not limited in its number of characters (see HTML
Tags for more details).
Display Options Using:
- Select Either Drop Down List, Radio List
or Check Box.
Note: If you checkmark "For this
Group of Options, allow customers to enter a quantity
for each option", this will be disabled.
The Drop Down List, Radio List and Check Box will
not appear at all, instead, an input field asking
for the quantity will be displayed for each option.

Image
- Browse for an Image File only if
you want to display an image in the same area
where you are asking your question
to the customers on this Product's ordering page.
Images can have a maximum size of 100kb. The only
acceptable image file types are .jpg .jpeg
.gif and .png.
For this Group of Options
always disclose (print on order form) the Customer's
Selection
- If this checkmark is checked, invoices
for orders will always show which option was selected
by the customer for this product. If this is un-checked
and the Customer orders the item with the Default
Option selected, the invoice will not
say which option was selected.
For this Group of
Options, allow customers to enter a quantity for
each option - If
this checkmark is checked, your options will not
appear in a Drop Down List, Radio Buttons, or
Check Boxes. Instead, all of the options will
appear as a list with a quantity field next to
each option, therefore, customers will be able
to order multiple quantities of multiple options
at the same time (as opposed to ordering each
option separately).
NOTE: You should only checkmark this option
for one (1) Group of Options per Product.
Do NOT checkmark this option for more than one
Group of Options within the same product,
as this will cause ordering confusion with customers
and yourself.
Each Option is considered
as a separate product -
If this checkmark is checked, then each
Option on the list, whether it is a Default
Option or an Alternate Option, will
be considered as a separate product, and therefore,
each option must have a price (entered into the
Price Variation field), weight and dimensions
specified in their properties. The parent Product's
price will be ignored and will not be counted
towards the purchase price, only the price of
each option will be used. If this is un-checked,
the parent Product's price will not be
ignored, it will be used for the purchase price,
and each option may or may not have a Price
Variation that affects the price of the parent
Product.
Customers must select
one of the Alternate Options to order
this product - If this checkmark is
checked, the shopping cart will not allow customers
to order this product with the Default
Option selected. Only after they select
one of the Alternate
Options can they order this product.
This is used only when your Default
Option is something like "Please
Select One".
