Modifiers online only

[kasmiller]

We have been using the online store for about 2 years now and have setup modifiers that we only use online.  We set them with no location so that they don't show up on our square POS.  This has worked fine until last week.  Now the modifiers are gone from our site.  If we add a location, they show up on our POS.  How do we fix this?  

We are an ice cream shop and have flavors listed as modifiers.  We don't need to track this in store and it really slows the line if we have to choose a flavor at checkout.  What's the workaround?

Hello @kasmiller !

Yeah, I think you found a loophole there when you had the modifiers not linked to a location at all. I'm honestly surprised that worked for you!

Here's what I would recommend: on your flavor modifier set, make one of the mods be something like In Store.

Now, to make that the default for internal orders, open each item you want to tweak and find that modifier set. Click the Customize link on that modifier, set Required and Maximum to 1, and click the Pre-Selected box next to In Store.

Now, every time an employee orders that item, the In Store will be highlighted already and they just have to hit the Done button. Yes, it's an additional step than just adding it to the cart, but it shouldn't add too much time.

For your online store, you can hide the In Store modifier. Open the same item in your online store dashboard and look for that same modifier group. Hit customize, click the "Hide" checkbox next to In Store, and set your minimum/maximum modifiers as you wish.

Hopefully this works for you!
