How do modifiers look on my menu?
Modifiers allow your customers to choose various options from your menu's offerings by presenting them with grouped lists of selection.
You can set the modifiers so customers only choose 1 of the options (e.g. degree of doneness, Vegan friendly, etc.) This adds an instruction saying "Choose one" next to the modifier name ("Crispiness Level" in the screenshot below).
You can also allow customers to select multiple options (e.g. toppings on a pizza, side dishes). If you limit the selection amount, the relevant instruction automatically appears, for example "Choose up to X", or "Choose between X - Y".
Tip: If you mark a modifier group as required, customers see an asterisk (*) next to the selection.
- Click + Add Modifier Group.
- Create a modifier group:
- Enter a modifier group name (e.g. "Dips" or "Degree of doneness").
- Add the first choice (e.g. "Salsa" or "Rare") and enter its price (e.g. $0.5).
- (Optional) Click + Add modifier to add more modifiers.
- Decide if customers are required to make a selection under Modifier group settings:
- Optional: Customers can place the order without making a selection. Set up how many modifiers customers can add under Maximum amount (from 1 - unlimited).
- Required: Customers need to select 1 or more options to proceed with their order. Set the minimum and maximum amount of modifiers that customers can add.
- (Optional) Repeat steps 4 - 6 to add modifier groups as needed.
How many modifier groups can I add?
You can add up to 20 modifier groups, and up to 50 modifiers in each group.
Tip: If you have over 10 modifiers in a group, we recommend setting the maximum selection to up to 10. This ensures all modifiers appear on the page.
