Modifier groups are powerful tools that allow you to create customizable product options. They enable customers to personalize their orders by selecting from predefined choices like sizes, add-ons, cooking preferences, and other variations.

What are Modifier Groups?

Modifier groups organize related customization options into logical categories. For example:
  • Size Options: Small, Medium, Large
  • Add-ons: Extra cheese, bacon, avocado
  • Preparation: Rare, medium, well-done
  • Flavors: Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry
