Product Options

This section allows you to create product options to add to your product catalog. For example, you can add size and color options and designate extra costs (if any) that a customer would need to pay for ordering an option. Once you add a product option in this section, you can easily attach it to any product in your catalog through the PRODUCTS tab in the left hand navigation bar.

Options can also associate with price, which will be included in the total price of the product. If a product contains one or more options, customers need to select an option before they  add the product to the shopping cart.
