Hi there @masterclipsbb-

Are these the steps you're following to create your modifiers? One thing to make sure of is that you're putting a price next to each modifier, even if the price is $0.00, it still needs to be entered.

Let me know if you're still having trouble after checking out that link above.

So I was able to create a modifier set but can I client pick them when booking online? To be specific I own a barbershop and my clients book online for their cuts, I added Hot Towel Shave and Eyebrows as add-ons but they doesnt really show when booking a haircut. Why not and how can I have this add ons added to the list.

@masterclipsbb Got it! You'll want to head into your Weebly editor and select Item Library. Once your services are shown there, you'll click one and scroll down until you see Modifiers. It looks like this on the page:

From there you'll click the Manage modifiers button and choose which modifiers you want to display under that item/service. Once you save them, they'll show up for your customers when they book online.

Thanks for your help @nika I was able to create modifiers and add them to the items, however, I can't seem to figure out how to make this appear on the menu for the clients. I don't have the Manage Modifiers tap you just showed me, mine looks like this:

Eventhough it says bookable for customers online, theyre not

How to add separate quantity amount for each different sizes and colors of clothes that are limited or out of stock?

Let me clarify here. We have same design shirt with different colors(brown, black, white & blue) and few sizes(M, L, XL). Some colors are out of stock for that particular sizes but this color is available in other sizes. Not sure how to put it on square online store. Do I use Variation or Modifier or both for this particular issue?

Please advice me how. Thank You.

I've a men's shirt with 4 different colors and few different sizes. Some sizes ran out for this particular color but available in other color. Not sure, how to specify this on Square online store. I'm new to the online store and currently working on building my first online store. Any answers would be appreciated.

Hi Nika_S, I tried the modifier to add sizes but stock availability option is not in modifier. So, I had to use Variations where I did write Color and sizes together, and under the stock option, I put quantity available for that size and color. This doesn't look professional for the shoppers but it works for me temporarily until I get the correct method.

Hi Ashley K, I tried the modifier but it doesn't help. Let me be specific with my issue. I have shirts in 4 different colors (brown, black, blue and white). They come in different sizes (m,L,xl,2xl,3xl). But I have limited stock on some sizes and for some colors. How to use both Modifier and Variations to make it look professional? Please help. Today I tried just the Variation. It works but doesn't look professional.

Hey @Dek - Create each color as individual items and add the sizes as variations. That way, stock amts can be added to each size.

No need to use modifiers since they don't allow inventory tracking.

Hi @masterclipsbb, I'm having the same problem you were experiencing. My clients can't select a modifier when booking an appointment. I see you figured it out, would you mind letting me know what you did?

Are you trying to add modifiers for an item in your Square Online website, @jackc27?

Or are you interested in adding modifiers to services for Square Appointments?
