How can I add priced product add-ons by customizing?

Store Design

Topic summary

Goal: add paid product add-ons (e.g., $2 gift note, paid gift box) via theme customization rather than apps.

Key suggestions:

  • Repurpose Shopify’s “gift-wrap” customization tutorial to implement priced add-ons on the cart page. For Online Store 2.0 (OS 2.0) themes, try adding the tutorial’s code into a cart “custom-liquid” block; some basic themes may support a free install of this gift-wrap option. OS 2.0 refers to the newer theme architecture with flexible sections/blocks.
  • Consider app-based options despite the coding goal: an app (Easify Product Options) was recommended for quick setup of priced options; includes a screenshot. Another reply links a YouTube tutorial showing how to add additional products to increase cart value (upsell/cross-sell = promoting add-on items).

Constraints/notes:

  • The requester is not comfortable upgrading/changing code to OS 2.0 and isn’t using a free Shopify theme.

Status: No step-by-step custom-code solution with pricing was provided beyond the gift-wrap approach and “custom-liquid” hint. App and video resources were offered; resolution remains open.

Hello Community, I know there’s a lot of apps to have product add-ons. But since I’m getting a hang of customizing I’d like to know if someone has come across a tutorial or guide how to do this yourself? Or willing to give me any hints :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: I’ve checked many youtube video’s but none of them include the price option. For example I’d like to add the option of selecting a gift card with a note for an additional $2. Or add a fancy gift box for an additional price.

Repurpose the gift-wrap customization

If you have a basic shopify them you can even get it installed for free for the cart page.

Alternatively look at upsell/crossell apps

Thanks @PaulNewton but I’m not that advanced yet to change that to Shopify 2.0. And no I don’t have a Shopify free theme.

With a online store 2.0 theme see if there’s a custom-liquid block section for the cart page.

If so just try coping the code from that tut into a custom-liquid setting.

Hi @lauyen ,

Creating custom options with additional costs can be a complex and time-consuming task, often requiring coding skills. However, if you’re open to a more convenient solution, I recommend exploring the Easify Product Options app. This user-friendly app empowers you to set up your desired options quickly, in just a matter of minutes :hugs: .
