How do I add extras to a product, like gift wrap or a warranty?

Add-ons are things a shopper can choose to add to a product for an extra price — gift wrap, a one-year warranty, an installation service, or a name printed on the product. They appear on the product page in your store under “Optional add-ons”, and the price of whatever the shopper picks is added to the cart.

Available types

When you add an extra to a product you can choose its type: Add-on, Gift wrap, Warranty, Service, Insurance, Customize, Accessory. The type helps you organise your list; the shopper sees the name and price.

Your ready-made extras list

From the sidebar, open Product Extras (the page is titled Global Extras). This is where you set up extras once and reuse them on any product:

• Each group has a + button in its header to add a new item (name and price).
• You can create your own group with Add New Type and choose its shape: Priced, Choice only or Color swatch.
• Use the pencil to edit and the bin to delete.
• The “Colors” and “Sizes” groups are where product variants take their options from.

Attaching extras to a product

Limits to know about

• The “Required” and “Max qty” options are not applied in your store yet. All extras are shown to shoppers as optional, and they can order the product without them. If something must be paid for with the product, include it in the product price.
• An extra with an empty name or a negative price isn't saved. A price of zero is fine for a free extra.
• If you switch off the Add-ons & extras card and save, all extras are removed from that product. The page warns you before you save: “Turning add-ons off removes all of this product’s add-ons when you save.”

Messages you may see

• “Enter a name”: type a name before saving.
• “Invalid price”: enter zero or a positive number.
• “Already existed — attached”: that extra is already in your list, so it was attached instead of being duplicated.
