How to add option of extra toppings to a product

Shopify Discussion

Hi!

I own a virtual bakery and we have the option to design your cake. So clients get to choose between cake flavor, frosting and the toppings they want to add. But I’m having trouble with adding the toppings because each topping costs different (ex: Oreos 1 USD, Nutella 2 USD, and so on). And people can add more than one if they want.

How can I do this?

Thank you loads for your time!

Best

Luisa

I think you needed this app, shopify can only add 2 product options.

https://apps.shopify.com/advanced-product-options or any product options app.

Hey there! I am new to the community and had a similar question. We sell baked goods and I need to add 6 flavor options for the customer to choose from so that they can mix and match. Is adding variant the same as adding the flavor options. When I am previewing the changes it is not correct.

Hello @Brookie ,

Have you got your solution? As you want to allow your customer to choose different flavours by mix N match then you can try the MultiVariants - Bulk order app.

You need to create a product in Shopify and under the main product create flavors as variants that will be visible on the product page. So, all the flavors will display under the main product as variants and there will be a quantity selector for each type of item. Your customer can choose their own combination of all products.

With this app, you can sell your product in a particular number of bundles so that your customer can not buy more or less than your provided number of restrictions.

You can set the min and a max quantity, so your customer must choose that quantity before going to the cart page. Suppose, your product has 10 different color variants and you want your customer to choose exactly 6 quantities from all those variants. So, if you set minimum and maximum quantities as 6, they can’t choose quantities more or less than 6.

Additionally, through this app, you can apply restrictions for minimum-maximum quantities, predefined bundles, interval quantities, and limits on variants and orders that can be achieved.

Here is a Sample Product. here you can not go to the cart page without selecting 12. if you select more or less than 12 it won’t allow you to click on add to cart.

also, explore our Demo Store. You can try the app with 3 days of a free trial.

Hi @LuisaPostres ,

I noticed that you received a suggestion to set up your custom options using a third-party product options app. While that’s a great option, I’d like to offer an alternative app so that other members facing similar issues can have more choices.

Additionally, if you ever find your current app unable to meet your needs or you want to explore a more budget-friendly option, this can be a valuable alternative to consider :hugs: .

The Easify Product Options app is an excellent choice for setting up your custom options in various ways, offering an impressive selection of 24 different option input types and styles.

Let me walk you through a quick demonstration on how you can set up your options using this app:

  • Start by creating an option set:

  • Add your Flavor options - recommended to use the Dropdown type

  • Add your Toppings options - consider using either the Image Swatches or Checkbox types. These options allow customers to select multiple toppings and even add extra costs for each topping.

What sets Easify Product Options apart is its user-friendly interface, which provides a Live Preview of your option sets on the storefront. This feature allows you to visualize how your custom options will appear to customers before making them available :raising_hands: .

There are even more exciting features of the app that I haven’t mentioned yet. I encourage you to explore it yourself :victory_hand: !

Hi @Brookie ,

To create a custom option for flavors, you have a couple of options. You can use the Image Swatches or Checkboxes option type, allowing your customers to select and mix multiple flavors. With the Easify Product Options app, you can easily set up these options.

Here’s a quick demonstration on how you can use the app to set up your options:

  • Using the Image Swatches option type:

The Easify Product Options app not only offers Checkboxes and Image Swatches but also provides a total of 24 option types. It stands out as the product option app with the largest variety of options available.

Moreover, the app includes additional features to help you boost sales for products with custom options. I highly recommend exploring the app yourself to unlock its full potential :hugs: .
