Master Options

This section will reduce your manpower and allow you to create product options. You can configure Product Options only once and assign them to multiple products.

The main advantage is that in the common product option, you can configure all the possible attributes at once then while assigning them to products enable only the applicable attributes.

You can configure product option Pricing based on formulas, Multipliers, Linear Formula, or no price at all. Also can configure range-lookup based on Quantity, Area, Total Area, number of sheets, etc.

You can create a new product option from the Admin >> Product >> Product Options >> Add button.

Here, you need to fill up data for the Product Option such as type, weight sets, pricing method, presentation settings, add attributes, description, etc. The description mentioned here will be the same for all the Products to whom the option will be assigned.

Title and Tags



Option Details

Just like the product-specific additional options, you get to define various settings for the product options.

Type

Choose the input type for Product Option – there are various input types available namely Radio Button, Dropdown, Checkbox, Textbox, Additional Information - Textbox, Textarea, Admin Only, Upload File, Upload Cloud File, and Upload Multiple Files.

Weight Setting

Here, define how the product option weight will be calculated.

Option Key

This will be a unique identifier for the product options. This will come in handy while assigning the options to product(s).

Export Order Group

The group data will be used in Order Export Options. Add product option group from – Admin >> Product >> Product Option >> Option Group



Price Settings

Price Defining Method

The price calculation is quite versatile. We have several pricing options available for product options such as – Formula based, multiplier based, or no price at all.

1. No Price – Do not want to manage any price for this option.

2. Formula-Based – The calculation will be based on the formula as defined. This pricing method is quite open. You can create a custom formula or choose from the one listed in the dropdown. To create any custom formula, use the variables given in the help button. You can anytime add a custom formula, just click on the plus icon and enter the label name for the formula, and then add the formula. Now, this newly added formula will be available every time you set an option-based formula.

3. Multiplier in Subtotal – The multiplier value of a specific attribute will be multiplied with the product sub-total to get the price. At once only a single option multiplier will be applied to the price.

For example, consider a situation where the multiplier is set in the following manner and these options are assigned to a product–

Product Subtotal - $1500

If the customer selects Sample Option 1 - Attribute 1. Then the price will be $1500 x 1.5 = 2250

If the customer selects Sample Option 2 - Attribute 4. Then the price will be $1500 x 1.4 = 2100

If the customer selects Sample Option 1 - Attribute 2 and Sample Option 2 – Attribute 3. Then the total price will be $1500 x 2 = 3000

4. Multiplier in the base price – The multiplier value of attributes will be multiplied by the product’s base price to get the final price.

You’ll get to set a multiplier for each product options attribute while adding attributes.

For example, consider a situation where the multiplier is set in the following manner, and these options are assigned to a product–

Product base price - $5

If the customer selects Sample Option 1 - Attribute 2 and Sample Option 2 –Attribute 3

Then the option price will be calculated as - $5x 2 + $5 x 1.2 = $17.5

Multiple with Custom Textbox

This will list all the product options created as type – textbox. Choose the option(s) to multiply with the price of attributes.

How to add prices for Product Options with Price Setting – Formula Based?

If the price setting is – Formula Based, then you’ll be able to add attribute prices. For this, click on the $ like symbol on the Product Options page.

Here, a pop-up will appear to define the attribute prices.

As the Range Lookup set in Option Setting is Quantity, here you’ll get an intimation stating the ranges should be created based on Product Quantity. This can vary as per your configuration of Range Look-up.

To set the range, click on the Manage Range >> Add Range button:

Now, the next step is to set prices for the ranges for each attribute. For each range enter the price. All the other option attributes will be listed on the left side. You can switch between the attributes and define prices as per the range set.

Presentation Settings

There are several presentation settings provided for the Product Options. The product options will load with these settings when assigning them to the product, but you’ll have an open room to make changes.

Some important presentation settings are –

Setup Attributes of Product Options

In this section add the option’s attributes. Depending upon the product option’s setting there will be several details to fill.

Add Bulk Data

For adding multiple attributes for product additional options, just click on the Add Bulk Data button and enter the specified field values separated with a comma, and click on the Add button.

The details added will appear on the main screen.

Product Option Description

This product option description will be displayed according to the Presentation Settings.

Along with Editing and Deleting the details of selected product options, the admin has the provision to manage the attribute price, sync options, and duplicate options.

Attribute Price

This is quick link to manage the pricing of the option attributes. Clicking on this link will redirect the admin to the Product Option Price page where depending on the configuration, they can setup the pricing structure.

Sync

The Sync option allows you to see how many products the selected product option is assigned to and also gives you the facility to apply any changes made to all the products.

Duplicate

If you want to create an option similar to a product option, you can do so using the Duplicate action.

Click on the Duplicate option from the Actions menu will display pop to ask you if you want to duplicate the product options as well as its pricing. If yes, you can select both and then Save.

There are some options that will require a physical entity and the admin needs to manage the stock of the same. For example, the admin sells Banner products to their customers and it also offers Banner Stand as an option. However, they need to keep and maintain the stock of the banner stand with them.

With the Manage Stock feature in Product Options, the admin can easily manage the stocks of their options.



Here, you can create as many as designer rules required using the product options.

To create a rule, simply select the product option, select the attribute, and choose settings such as to allow editing on the Additional Option Page, Designer Studio, or Upload Center page. Define the pages and then click on Add to save the rule.

Page Number – Enter comma-separated page numbers in sequence to hide pages based on the rule created in Designer Studio and Upload Center.

E.g., Consider a product with pages as - Page 1, Page 2, ... Page 10 with sequence numbers like 1, 2, ... 10. And if 3,4 is entered in this field then Page 3 and Page 4 will be hidden based on the rule created.

The system will run a check to find the pages falling at the 3rd and 4th position, then whichever page it gets it will hide it.

The steps to create an option group are the same as creating an option group for an individual product.

Now, if you have created Product Options for canvas products then you can bind them from this section.

There can be several options possible for canvas products (single, multiple, and split photo canvas) such as Edge Design, Image Effect, Border Thickness, etc. Then why bind the additional options again and again for every product?

You can easily create these product options and then bind them with the pre-defined events (created by OPS Team).

To bind the Product Options for Canvas, follow the below steps –

We have provided the option to create the option rules for the Product Options. To create an option rule, go to the Admin >> Product >> Product Options >> Option Rules (top-right corner)

Here, all the rules created for the product options will be listed. You can anytime click on the +Add button to create a new rule.

The steps to create a rule are the same as creating a rule for the product’s additional option.

For Area and Specific Quantity, we have given text boxes where you can define FROM and TO ranges.

After creating product options you’ll require them to assign various products as per requirements.

To assign product, go to Admin >> Product >> Action Menu of any product >> Additional Options >> Assign Product Options (button)

Here, all the product options, created will be listed with their attributes.

You can enable the option status to add to the product. Also, we have kept checkboxes for each attribute, thus giving you an open room to add the desired option attribute for the product.

At the hover of various elements, you can see the necessary information required such as option type, option key, etc.

You can define the sort order of each attribute, thus controlling the display of product options.

The multiplier shown on this page will be loaded from the Product Options section. You can overwrite this while assigning the option to any product.

Clicking on Show More will display the presentation settings of the product option. The presentation settings will load with the once set white creating the option. Here, you can manage the display settings of the option for a particular product.

We bring the functionality of creating an Associate Product. Here, the admin needs to create a predefined product (associate product) and map/associate it with product options.

Create Associate Product

Navigate to the Products >> Products >> Ready to Buy Products page in the admin panel. The process of creating a Ready to Buy product remains the same. Here, we have created a Banner Stand:

Create a Product Master Option

Navigate to the Products >> Products >> Product Options page. The process of creating a master option remains the same. Here, you need to create a master option that you want to map with the associated product. We have created the below master option with Yes/No attributes:

Create the Associate product as described below:
