How to Create Modifiers & Modifier Groups

This article is only suitable for businesses without a POS integration. If you do have a POS, you can instead sync your products, modifiers, and modifier groups.

Introduction

Modifiers and modifier groups allow you to add extra information to your products, as well as upsell other items. They are commonly referred to as "options" or "extras" on other platforms.

Once created, they can be attached to products in your account.

Modifier Groups

A modifier group brings together extras you want to add to a product. For example: if you have a pizza product, a modifier group could be "Choose your Toppings". 

Modifiers

A modifier is an item that customers can choose for a product, that exists inside a modifier group. For a pizza, some modifiers could be cheese, pepperoni, and pineapple. 

Example

Take a look at the example below and how they are displayed in Deliverect.

• Product: Fries
  • Modifier group: Fries sauce
    • Modifiers: Ketchup, Mayonnaise

How to create

Step 1. Navigate first to your Products page in Deliverect.

Modifier group

Provide a name, PLU, and optionally a description. Modifiers can be added to the group by choosing existing ones or creating them.

Three options are available at the bottom:
