Hey @HeadleyInn. I may be wrong, but it sounds like you are using online item checkout links — is that correct? If so, then that’s the problem. This is because checkout links are designed for the quick purchase of one item only. There is no cart functionality for checkout links, and I doubt they ever will be.

If you need a cart to contain multiple items, then you’ll have to set up an online store. You can then list your items on the store page and customers can add as many of each as they wish before checking out.

Hi @HeadleyInn 👋,

@TheRealChipA is spot on here! The best way to achieve this is to set up your items on your Square Online site. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

1. Go to your Item Library to create a new item or edit an existing one.
2. In the item details, enter the main product name (e.g., “Dinner Event”).
3. Scroll down to the 'Variations' section.
4. Click 'Add Variation' to create variations for each option:

Beef with Dry Wine
Beef with Sweet Wine
Vegetarian with Dry Wine
Vegetarian with Sweet Wine

To offer further choices, you can also set up additional modifiers for this item, which can be added in addition to the above variations.

Hopefully, this helps! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out in this thread.
