Multiple modifiers add on cost

PDB — Fri, 14 Aug 2020 13:02:57 GMT

Hi! I’m wondering if anyone has figured out how to use the modifiers this way. We sell ice cream and the customer is allowed to choose one flavor at no cost. If they want to add additional flavors it .10 ex. So a choc banana would cost .10 more than just a chocolate. I have all the flavors listed as a modifier currently, but I’d like to have a way to have the second modifier automatically add in the .10 without me having to manually enter it. Is this possible?
thanks!

Hey @PDB

Probably the only way to do it right now would be to set up a second Modifier Group called "Extra Flavor" with all of our flavors in there again, each +$0.10

Hope this works, and let me know if you have any questions!

@pessosices That’s exactly how I have it set up currently. Although it does work, it’s a lot to scroll through with 15 flavors listed twice. I was hoping for a simpler solution. Thank for the response!

@PDB

Fair enough!
I have another idea - it's not ideal, and customers might get a little theoretically confused, but it'll work!

If you drop the price by $0.10, and then just make all flavors $0.10 - it'll achieve the results you want.

So if it's $5, make it $4.90 - then the first flavor they choose will bring it up to $5, and any extra flavors they choose will bring it up by another $0.10.

Some customers might be weirded out that even the first flavor is $0.10, but it's just $0.10 and hopefully they'll understand - you could always explain it in the Description section.

Alternatively, you can raise the price and make mixing flavors free.

If you know that approximately half of your items are mixed flavors, and half are not, then you can raise it by 5 cents and make approximately the same amount of money.

Or if you want to overshoot it, you could just raise it by 10 cents or 25 cents and gain some profit when people stick to a single flavor.

@pessosices That’s a fantastic idea! Kind of sad I didn’t think of it 😂. Our customers don’t even see the screen so they won’t be weirded out at all. I’ll get it fixed and test run it tomorrow. Thank you!!

Awesome @PDB ! I'm happy to help!

Not at all! Sometimes you're just too close and need a pair of outside eyes to come up with creative solutions!

Let me know how it goes!
