Price Variants & Add-Ons
example : Coffee, adding Latte
Price variants are primarily used to offer a product that may have choice of options Eg Coffee Size, which means there will be option of price. This example will show you how to add price variants.
For advanced requirements, the Variants can also be nested to multiple selection options. Example,
Once product is chosen, then Takeaway or Dine in, Then select Size, or choose Style, Colour etc. However multiple nested structure can be difficult for future maintenance so we recommend only to use Variants for price change and not for general selection and recommend to use Add-Ons for further selections.
In the below example we will use
– a LATTE Coffee,
– with 3 different Price Variants for Size, and
– Add-On option for Coffee options & Milk Types
Below is an example of how a sale of latte made in 3 steps.
For those that sells only TWO price option, you can eliminate the Variant selection and simply add a LARGE option in the Add-Ons with the price difference.
For those that provide a discount for BYO Cups, you may add a Negative value in the AddOn price.
When selling, the Variants, user must select one item to move on.

Below is Sale screen showing how the sale process will follow.
A Vegetarian Pizza, for Takeaway, Small Size, with No Onion and Add Pineapple
To achieve this we will need to first add all the AddOn into the menu.
At this stage, you need to decide if you sell your add-ons for one price regardless of size, or have different price for each size.
In the below example we will have 2 prices for add-ons Small price and Large price.
