Select this option from the main Admin Menu to add and edit the standard addons in your store to use for products. A list of the current Standard Addons available will be displayed and a link to Add Addon. You can also search for options by their name, type and display settings.
Adding a Standard Addon is like creating a custom product addon. Just enter the following information:
Name for the addon – This is the name that will be used to refer to the addon, both in the Standard Addons Manager and when adding product addons.
Message to Display – This is the prompt that will be displayed to the user with the addon.
Description in Cart – This is the description of the addon that will be displayed in the shopping cart. Generally you will want to enter something here, whereas it is not as necessary with product options.
Addon Type – Select the type of addon you wish to use.
Amount Added to Price – Amount that this addon will add to the price of the product if it is selected/filled out. For quantity boxes, this amount will be multiplied by the number entered in the box.
Amount Added to Weight – Amount that this addon will add to the weight if it is selected/filled out. For quantity boxes, this amount will be multiplied by the number entered in the box.
Product quantity multiplies price and weight – This setting allows you to determine if the price and weight will also be multiplied by the quantity of product being ordered. For instance, if you wish to set up an addon for a one-time setup fee, you would set this to ‘no’.
Required – If set to ‘Yes’ the store will require the customer to select/fill out this addon. Otherwise, it is optional. Please note that while the javascript form checking will make any addon type required, checkboxes are not verified by the store if the customer has javascript disabled, since there is not much reason to have a checkbox required!
Display in Store – Allows you to toggle this option on and off.
Click Create Addon to save your settings and create the standard addon.
You can also Edit the Addon at any time to make changes to these settings, or Delete the Addon. Deleting a standard addon will remove it from all products currently using it.
