Customisation

image.png

This tab allows you to manage Customisations; these are complex options where their number and/or complexity mean that creating individual Variants for each potential combination is impractical.

To manage Customisations, the product must be set as 'Made to Order' on the Product tab

Potential Uses

There are a wide variety of potential use cases, as well as different solutions to the problem of product setup

  • Combinations of multiple options, e.g. 'Choose Colour', 'Choose Size', 'Choose Feet', 'Choose Drawers', 'Choose Tension', all on a single product
  • Visual representation of options via Swatches
  • Parent and Child options, e.g. customer chooses 'with drawers' (yes/no), with a subsequent set of options that only display if they select 'yes'
  • Addition of personalisation, e.g. a handstitched name on the back of a football kit

Pricing

Customisations may be added at various price points

  • Options with a surcharge of a fixed monetary value, e.g. +£15 to add personalisation
  • Options with a surcharge as a percentage of the total value, e.g. +10% to have the product gold plated
  • Options with no cost implication, e.g. the cost of the option is built into the variant

Setup

Customisation is applied individually to each Variant.
