Add quantity on modifier

smashnslide — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 11:58:19 GMT

Hi all, can anyone tell me how I can add a quantity to a modifier?

for example, if someone wants to add 2 or 3 extra patties, how can I add the option to allow them to do this within an item modifier? at the moment it only allows a checkbox with no quantity option.

Hi @smashnslide, thanks for flagging this! I had a play around with this myself as well and at the moment, there isn't a way for customer to select the same modifier twice or thrice, or enter a value for a modifier.

A workaround would be to create another set of modifier called Extra. That way, if customer want to add a third for fourth patties, they can select it there as well. Or alternatively, you can create another modifier called 2 x patties or 3 x patties within the current modifier list and have that as an option for customers.

Hi, has this been resolved yet? This a KEY reason why I can't use Square as a major component of my business. Any branded website gives you the option to choose the quantity of a particular item. This should be a basic function on Square, it looks professional and is more familiar to the customer. PLEASE can the programmers sort this!

This really needs to be a priority now, given after the pandemic many required the current crop of expensive online delivery partners (which I assume is why Square launched Online Ordering for Restaurant in the past year), it's a case of adding the parameter for 'How many times can a Modifier be selected', and start linking modifiers to items/create them as items for stock and sales purposes, instead of just text.

As much as I hate UberEats, they have really progressed on their menu maker, and a lot of their features and settings are so well resolved that it should become standard practice across the industry.
