Option types

This page lists the option types you can add to a product and the settings each one has. Build them in the Product Options panel on the product edit screen.

Field types

Type	What it is
Text	A single-line text input (engraving, monogram, a note)
Textarea	A multi-line text box
Number	A numeric input with optional min, max and step
Checkbox	A single yes/no add-on (e.g. “Gift wrap”)
Radio	A group of options where one is chosen
Select	A dropdown of options
Surcharge (fee)	A fixed fee added automatically — no input from the customer
Heading	A display-only section title to group options

Any input field can carry an add-on price; see Add-on pricing. A Surcharge is always applied, and a Heading is purely visual.

Field settings

Most fields share these settings:

• Label — the option name shown to the customer (and in the cart/order).
• Required — make the customer fill it in. Can also be required conditionally — see Conditional logic.
• Description — small help text under the option.
• Default — a pre-selected or pre-filled value.
• Price — the add-on amount (see Add-on pricing).

Type-specific settings:

• Text / Textarea — a placeholder and a maximum length.
• Number — min, max and step.
• Radio / Select — the list of options.

When a price applies

A field’s price is only added when the field is actually “engaged”:

• Text, textarea: a value is entered.
• Checkbox: it’s ticked.
• Radio, select: an option is chosen.
• Number: a non-zero number is entered.
• Surcharge: always.

So an optional, blank field adds nothing.

More option types in Pro

The free plugin covers the eight types above. The Pro edition adds colour swatches and a date picker, plus richer pricing and multi-condition logic — see the notes in Add-on pricing and Conditional logic.
