Product Options feature overview

The Product Options feature allows a Back Office user to create and assign product options to abstract products. Product options are product additions that a customer can select on the product detail page before adding the product to the cart. For example, the product options can be gift wrappings for products, insurance, warranty, etc. Product options do not have stock, but a SKU linked to product abstracts. Thus, you cannot purchase them without buying a corresponding product.

Each product option is defined by:

• product option group name
• tax set assigned on the product option group
• option value
• translation

Product option group holds all available options, or option values that buyers select. For example, you can have the “Warranty” product option group and create “1-year warranty” and “2-year warranty” values for it.

With the feature in the Back Office, you can create, update, activate or deactivate, and view all product options available in the system, define a price for product options and select products to which they will be added.

In the Storefront, customers can select and add options to products on the product detail page.
