You can set additional options for a
product if you want your customer to
choose color, size, packing, etc. You
can list options in the Options list for
your customer to choose, or let the
customer type the text him(her)self. To access the "Product
options" feature, click on "Modify
product" and use the "Search
products" interface to find and list
your product. In the "Search results" display, select the product that you
wish to modify and click the "Modify" button. On
the "Modify product" page for your selected
product, scroll down to the "Product
options" section.
It
is recommended to have NO duplicating 'Option classes' for each product to avoid confusion. Leave 'Options list' empty if you want your customer to be able
to enter custom information instead of selecting from options.
If you need the price of the product
to change based on the option that the
customer selects, you can do so by
specifying the following symbols: "=",
"+", "-" and "%".
Let's say for example, your product has
gold thread and gold ribbon as an option
but you need to charge an extra dollar
when a customer selects "gold". You can
do so by creating your product options
and specifying gold as "Gold=+1". With
this configuration, if a customer
chooses "gold" as an option, an
additional dollar is automatically added
to the price of the product.

Steps for setting up product
options:
- Enter the title of the option
class in the Option class cell.
- Enter the option description for
your customer in the Option text
cell.
- If the product already has one
or more options, enter the position
number for the option. The smaller
position number is the product
option which will be placed upper in
the list of product options.
- Do one of the following:
- Enter the options in
the Option list cell.
- Leave the Option
list empty. In this case
the customer can type
appropriate information
in the text field, which
appears on the customer
front end.

- Click Apply.
Exceptions
Example exception: Color=Blue;
Size=XL
If any of the product options or
option combinations are not available,
you can define it by using Exceptions as
you see in the example above. In this
example a customer will not be able to
order the product with the blue color
and size XL options.
Product options validation
Product options validation allows a
means of confirming the customer's
selected options.
This however is not for the faint of
heart and requires some knowledge in
coding. If done incorrectly, errors will
be displayed to the customer, so if you
are unsure of the proper syntax, leave
the product options validation area
alone.
