App reviews, troubleshooting, and recommendations
I am currently preparing a store to sell products that require anonymity, and I would greatly appreciate your
support.
I am looking for an app that can add the following simple features:
1. Customers can choose between “standard packaging” or “repacking into a new box.”
2. An additional fee will be charged for repacking.
While I have found a few paid options, I am specifically looking for a free app.
Does anyone know of the best app for this? Your suggestions would mean a lot to me.
Thank you in advance!
I can help with that
Thanks, please give me a solution.
If I understand it correctly, you need an extra option on cart page that a user can check/uncheck to choose between special or standard packaging.
If that is the case, you don't need an app for it. You can simply put an additional checkbox on the cart page and use that to pass packaging information as an order note. This information will show up for each order on the order page (as shown below)
I tried to make checkbox in the cart page but couldn't find that. may I know where is that?
It will need to be coded into your theme code. It shouldn't take long though. If you need help with that, let me know. I will send you a collaborator request and we can sort it out.
The code approach is bit difficult to maintenance. Is there an app or other way?
There might be an app that does this, but I'm not familiar with one at the moment. The most efficient solution, in my opinion, would be to add a simple checkbox on the cart page. As I mentioned earlier, this is a straightforward implementation, and any skilled developer should be able to have it set up in about 15–30 minutes.
I’d be happy to provide the code, but I’d need to take a look at your theme to ensure it integrates smoothly with your current setup. If you're interested, I can offer you a custom solution that fits your needs perfectly. Thanks.
Hi @Tokyoproducts,
Adding an option for “standard packaging” or “repacking into a new box” is straightforward, but including an extra fee for repacking adds complexity. Custom coding this feature may require hiring a developer and ongoing maintenance to ensure the fee is applied correctly, which could be both costly and time-consuming.
Free apps might seem like an alternative, but they often struggle with ensuring the accuracy and stability of additional fees, which can lead to potential errors or revenue loss.
A practical solution is to use a third-party app like the Easify Product Options app. It allows you to create options with extra fees in just a minute, and it’s built to maintain stable performance with regular checks to ensure fees are applied accurately. This saves you the time and effort of managing custom code or troubleshooting potential issues.
I hope this helps you decide on the best approach for your store 🤗!
