The ordering options feature gives you the freedom to easily provide available product options to your customers such as size and color, etc. Each product specific option is presented as a drop down box for the client to make their selection(s) from. Any selected options are then passed to their order and included within their receipt!
Shopsite Ordering Options
Step #1: Logging into Shopsite
Before you can start setting up product ordering options within Shopsite you have to first be logged into its web based interface. Depending on your hosting provider you will have been given access information in order to login. If you do NOT have this information, get it from you host.
Once you have logged into your Shopsite back office you will be presented with a screen just like the one displayed above.
Step #2: Editing a Product
Click on the Products button.
Select a product and click the Edit Product Info button.
Step #3: Creating Ordering Options
Scroll till you reach the Ordering Options section.
In the Pull-down Menus section enter your Ordering Options information.
Step #4: How to Create 'Ordering Options' Text
When creating Shopsite ordering options you need to remember that it is very important to separate each 'new option' with a line break. This is what tells Shopsite to create a NEW drop down box containing the product options!
If for example you sold T-shirts and they came in three (3) different sizes and colors then your respective Ordering Options would look like this:
Size
Small
Medium
Large
Color
Red
Green
Black
Note the line break between the word 'Large' and 'Color'. This will instruct the Shopsite shopping cart to create two sets of Ordering Options. One for Size and the other for Color.
How Will These Options Appear?
Using the above 'ordering options' example whenever someone added the product to their Shopping Cart the 'options' would appear as indicated below.
Step #5: Saving Your Product Changes
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Save Changes button.
This concludes how to set product Ordering Options up within Shopsite.
