How to Create Modifiers

Modifiers let customers customize products — sizes, add-ons, or special instructions. You manage them in Store → Menu → Modifiers.


Where to find it: Store → Menu → Modifiers (tab at the top of the Menu page). You’ll see modifier groups on the left, options in the center, and product assignment on the right.


  1. Go to Store → Menu
  2. Open the Modifiers tab
  3. Click Create Group or Add modifier group
  4. Enter the group name (e.g. “Size”, “Extras”, “Special instructions”)
  5. Choose the modifier type (Variant, Addon, or Instruction)
  6. Set Required, Min selection, and Max selection as needed
  7. Save

Choose the type that fits how customers should select options:

TypeUse forExampleCustomer picks
VariantSizes, choices where one is requiredSmall / Medium / LargeExactly one (or min–max)
AddonOptional extras with a priceExtra cheese, Extra sauceZero or more
InstructionSpecial requests, no price”No ice”, “Well done”Optional text/choice

After creating a group:

  1. Click the modifier group in the list
  2. In the Modifier options panel, click Add items or Create item
  3. Add options from:
    • Modifiers — Custom modifier items (e.g. “Small”, “Large”, “Extra cheese”)
    • Products — Your regular menu products (only products with Can be sold alone = On)
  4. For each option, set Title, Price (or 0 for free), and optionally description/image
  5. Drag to reorder — the order is the order customers see

Each option can have:

  • Title — What customers see
  • Price — Added to the product when selected (or 0 for free)
  • Description — Optional
  • Image — Optional — click the image area to open the Media Gallery (Your Gallery or Menuella Stock)
  • Price overrides — Different price for specific products or sizes

  1. Create group “Size”, type Variant, Required = On, Min = 1, Max = 1
  2. Add options: Small (€0), Medium (+€0.50), Large (+€1.00)
  3. Assign to products (see How to assign modifiers to products)
  4. When customers order, they see Size: Small | Medium | Large and must pick one

  1. Create group “Extras”, type Addon, Required = Off, Min = 0, Max = 5
  2. Add options: Extra cheese (+€1.50), Extra sauce (+€0.50)
  3. Assign to products
  4. When customers order, they can optionally add extras

Use Variant for sizes or required choices (e.g. Small/Medium/Large). Use Addon for optional extras (e.g. extra cheese, extra shot). Use Instruction for free-form requests (e.g. “No ice”, “Well done”). Keep option names short — they appear in the ordering flow. Set min/max selection so customers can’t over-select (e.g. max 3 addons).
