Attach add-ons to products

Choose which products offer an add-on, and whether it's required or optional

An add-on only appears for a product once you attach it. You can attach from the add-on itself (good when many products share it) or from a product's own page. Both use the same link, so a change in one shows in the other.

Before you start

Attach from the add-on library

  1. Open Catalogue › Add-ons.
  2. On the add-on's card, choose Attach products. If it's already attached to some products, the button reads Manage products instead.
  3. In the dialog, use Search products to find a product by name. The list shows each product's image and price.
  4. Tick the product's checkbox. A Required / Optional switch appears on the row.
  5. Choose Required if customers must complete this add-on for that product. Leave Optional if they can skip it.
  6. Repeat for every product that should offer the add-on.
  7. Choose Attach to N products (or Save when managing).

To remove the add-on from a product, open Manage products, untick the product and choose Save. A message confirms each removal.

Attach from a product's page

  1. Open Catalogue › Products and open a Standard or Multi-variant product (or create one).
  2. Scroll to Add ons (optional).
  3. Click Search your add-on library… and pick an add-on. Add-ons already on the product aren't offered again.
  4. Use the Optional and Required switch on each add-on.
  5. Drag the handle (Reorder) to set the order customers see them. The hint Drag to reorder sits under the list.
  6. To remove one, select × and confirm Remove. Customers won't see it at checkout, and you can attach it again later.
  7. Save the product.

On an archived product, this section is read-only.

Required or optional

The Required setting belongs to the link between one product and one add-on, not to the add-on. The same embroidery add-on can be required on a tie and optional on a scarf. Newly attached add-ons start as Optional.

A customer can't add an item to their cart until they've filled in all of its required add-ons.

Good to know

  • Add-ons attached from the library go to the end of each product's list. Reorder them on the product's page.
  • Bundles don't have their own Add ons section. If an item inside a bundle has add-ons, customers choose them for that item when they buy the bundle. See Create a product bundle.
  • Duplicating a product copies its add-ons. Duplicating an add-on copies its product links.
  • Deleting an add-on removes it from every product it was attached to.
