      OPTION SETS

      Using an Option set allows your customers to select specific variations of a product, making the site cleaner and easier to navigate for the user.

      Option Set

      Option sets require less pages and you wont have to create separate listings for each color, size, or type, etc...In order to create an Option set, you will need to know what type of option you are applying, and which variations you wish to list. Once the Option set has been created, you can apply it to your products.

      Types of option sets:  

      • use for multiple products (size, color)
      • for more specific product requirements (font, custom entered text).
      • specified by a simple select box 
      • by customer entered text which allows the customer to upload an image, or select a date and time (i.e. Tickets).
