The Ordering Options fields allow you to provide your customers with variations or customization of your products using pull-down menus, a text-box, or both. The pull-down menus can be used to select variations (such as different colors or sizes) of a single product, and the text-box allows the customer to provide special information (such as a monogram or a message).
Advanced Order Options (Pro)
Advanced Ordering Options provide additional fields for up to four product options, such as inventory management for individual product options. Advanced Ordering Options also provides an extra layer of control over what product options are available. When dealing with two or more ordering options, there might be certain combinations that the merchant either can't support or doesn't want to support. For example, let's say there is a product that has a color option (red, blue, yellow), a graphic print option (bird, star, flower), and a size option (small, medium, large). If the star graphic print option is only available on the small red shirts, the medium blue shirts, and the yellow shirts only come in large, such a setup would be impossible to do using the standard Ordering Options. Advanced Ordering Options can achieve this by simply unselecting the ordering options that don't exist.
