MY URL for the problem I am trying to solve is:

Signature & Customized Meal Plans – Hudson Meal Co

password is “password”

I am a meal delivery company and one of the options is customizing meals. Right now I have drop down menus on the custom meal section and it just takes up a lot of space. Is there an app or any ideas on how to consolidate these drops downs so it doesn’t look so overwhelming to pick the options?

Im using Globo Product Options now as an app.

Thank you!

To make the meal customization process less overwhelming on your website, you could consider using grouped dropdowns or swatches for selection. Grouping similar options together or using visual swatches for choices like sauces or proteins can make the interface more user-friendly and less cluttered. A custom-designed app solution might be the most effective in your case.

Thank you Kabir. Do you have any app ideas that I could customize to fit this? Or any apps you know of that would help. If it is an app I can modify myself and you can help me design I can pay for your time.

thanks

Hi @jameschef86 ,

You should explore the Easify Product Options app as it may better align with your requirements compared to your current app.

A notable feature is the exclusive Option Group option type, allowing you to organize products into distinct collapsible groups. This enhances the overall presentation of your options, providing a more streamlined appearance. Specifically, customers can expand subsequent groups after completing selections in the first group, facilitating a structured and efficient ordering process :hugs: .

Furthermore, the app offers the capability to incorporate enticing images within the dropdowns. This addition of option images, both inside and outside the dropdowns, not only adds a visually engaging element but also aids customers in easily reviewing their selected options for each meal.

Below is a demo for your store:

Another suggestion for your store is to include an option for customers to choose whether to customize their later meal groups from scratch or replicate the options from their previous meal groups. If the latter is selected, unnecessary steps are streamlined, with the 4 options (protein, carb, veggie, sauce) hidden using the Conditional Logic feature. Otherwise, customers are prompted to make fresh selections, and these 4 options will be shown for continued selection.

Additionally, you can optimize the user experience by showing only a limited number of meal groups from the beginning (e.g., only 7 meal options for 7 days of the week), and then reveal the next groups after the first groups’ completion, also using Conditional Logic.

There are many interesting ways that you can set up your options with the app. Let me know your thoughts, and if you’re interested in trying out the Easify app, we’re here to assist with the setup :raising_hands: .
