Ordering Options

Ordering Options allow you to provide your customers with variations or customization of your products. ShopSite allows you to create pull-down menus to allow customers to select various options (such as colors or sizes). In addition, ShopSite can include a text-entry box for each product. You can use the text-entry box alone, or in conjunction with the pull-down menus, to allow customers to customize the product (such as including a monogram or a special message).

Order Options Pull-Down Menus

Creating order options pull-down menus is a very simple process. When you are adding or editing Product information, the Order Options Description textbox allows you to provide information, such as a description or instructions, about the menu. You can then create the menu contents in the Pull-down Menus textbox. All you have to do is type each of the options into the text box in the order you want them to appear, with each option on a new line:

This will create a pull-down menu that looks like this:

To create more than one pull-down, simply leave a blank line between lists of options:

This will create two pull-down menus that look like this:

Using Pull-Downs with the Text-Entry Box

You can use the Text-Entry Box to allow the customer to add information such as customization instructions. This can be done alone, or in conjunctions with the pull-down menus. For example, if you were selling pens that could have a monogram engraved on the barrel, you could have pull-down menus to select a font and the number of letters to engrave. The customer could then enter the actual letters to be engraved into the text-entry box. By using a pull-down for the number of characters, you have the option to set a clear limit on how many characters can be engraved on the pen.

Select the font and number of characters for your monogram:

Enter the characters you want in your monogram below. Enter upper-case letters if you want them engraved in upper-case, or lower-case letters if you want them in lower-case. We will only engrave as many letters as you select above, regardless of how many letters you enter here.
