• Increase Customer Satisfaction: Allowing customers to customize their orders can improve satisfaction and encourage repeat business.
• Boost Revenue: Upselling through product add-ons can lead to higher order values by offering premium ingredients or extras.
• Create a More Interactive Experience: Product variations, from text fields to multi-select checkboxes, make the ordering process more interactive.

Ways to Add Product Extra Items in Restrofood

Restrofood offers two ways to create and manage product add-ons:

1. Global Add-Ons: Applies extra items across multiple products.
2. Individual Product Add-Ons: Customized options for specific products only.

Let’s break down each approach and explore how to set up your add-ons with different field types, such as radio buttons, checkboxes, and custom product fields.

Step 1: Add Product Extra Items Using the Global Option

Global options allow you to add product extras that are available across multiple products. This is ideal for commonly requested add-ons, such as condiments or sides that apply to multiple items on your menu.

How to Set Up Global Add-Ons?

1. Navigate to Global Settings: In the Restrofood admin dashboard, go to Settings > Global Add-Ons.
2. Select Add-Ons Type: Choose the type of add-on you want to offer, such as:
   • Checkboxes: Great for multi-select options like toppings.
   • Radio Buttons: Use for exclusive choices, such as small, medium, or large.
   • Text Fields: Ideal for customer notes or special instructions.
3. Configure Options and Pricing: Define each add-on’s name, description, and pricing. For example, a premium topping may add an extra cost to the product.
4. Save and Apply: Once configuring the add-ons, save them to make these options available across applicable products.

With the global settings in place, these add-ons will appear on all product pages where they are relevant, allowing customers to add extras as they order.

Step 2: Add Product Extra Items from Individual Products

The individual product add-on option allows you to create custom extras unique to specific products. For example, a special drink may have unique add-ons not needed for other products.

How to Set Up Individual Product Add-Ons?

1. Select the Product to Customize: Go to the product page where you want to add custom options, then click on Product Settings.
2. Choose Add-Ons Type: Restrofood allows various options, such as:
   • Radio Buttons: Perfect for choices like different portion sizes or flavors.
   • Select Boxes: Useful for multi-select items like “Extra Cheese” or “Gluten-Free”.
   • Range Picker: Ideal for items with variable pricing, like selecting several ingredients.
3. Set Min/Max Requirements: If certain selections are essential, set the minimum or maximum requirement for each add-on. If no requirement is set, customers are not required to choose these options.
4. Save Changes: Once configured, save the settings, and the extra items will appear specifically for that product.

Using this method, each product has a unique selection of add-ons that can match its specific needs, ensuring your customers can customize their orders precisely.

Customizing Product Add-Ons with Additional Options

Restrofood provides various ways to enhance the add-on setup for better customer experience and order management:

• Color Swatches: It is especially useful for visual customization if you offer products in different colors, like beverages or desserts with color variations.
• File Uploads: Let customers upload files, such as custom images for cakes or other personalized items.
• Price Range Picker: This tool is perfect for customizable items with a price range, such as adding additional toppings or extra portions at variable prices.

Managing Add-Ons in the Checkout and Cart Process

After setting up the add-ons, customers will see these extra options on the product pages and can select their choices before clicking the Add to Cart button. Once in the cart, they will review their add-on selections, ensuring their order is accurate before checkout.

For a streamlined experience, ensure the checkout page displays each selected add-on and its associated price so customers know exactly what they are paying for.
