Looking for product add-on or "kit" functionality (Coffee (base item) + Flavor + Dairy.

Hello!

I am a consultant helping one of my customers with their Shopify POS and web environment. They run a coffee shop. They want to make it easier to add coffee flavor and dairy add-ons in their POS orders. I'm curious if anyone has a solution for this? Not sure if there is a way to also have this post visible in the Apps group as well?

 

  1. We already have the various flavors and dairy items added as inventory items in our POS, they have pricing tied to them
  2. We would have the base item (some sort of drink) and then want to be able to offer a syrup add-on as well as a dairy add-on, and those add-ons have a price associated with them
  3. With our syrup and dairy add-ons I want to be able to allow qty (i.e. I want 3 shots of vanilla flavor)
  4. The base items also have variants (16 oz drink vs 20 oz drink)
  5. We don't want these add-ons to become more variants in the system, they're truly unique inventory add-ons.

Kind regards,

-Scott

Hi Scott!

We had a client who had a very similar problem to yours - they were running a coffee shop in their retail store & needed to be able to modify their products beyond what the Shopify variant system allows. We developed an app to try and help solve this problem & it was released into the app store last month! POS Cafe allows merchants to create custom modifier sets (like milk types, syrups, etc) to apply to products sold in Shopify POS. As you mentioned, customers have their base products entered into Shopify with base variants (i.e. Mocha - sml, med & lrg). They then use POS Cafe to create modifier sets that can include modifiers with extra cost (i.e. Milk types with Regular & Oat +$0.50, etc). The modifier sets are not currently set up as products, but created and managed within the app.

We're new to the marketplace but are rolling out new features all the time. We're also very passionate about working closely with merchants to get feedback to bring the greatest value in this space that we possibly can. Feel free to check us out on the Shopify app store & let us know if you have any feedback 🙂 https://poscafe.app | https://apps.shopify.com/poscafe
