Product Options (Third Party Store)

To determine which eCommerce solution you are on, see How do I know if I am using Native eCommerce or Third Party eCommerce?

If you sell products that have multiple options (such as color and size), you can list them as one base product with different options. As a result, customers can select the options they prefer on the product page.

With product options, you may also:

• offer extras (for example, gift wrapping)
• ask buyers to upload a file for an ordered product or service
• offer multiple selections to configure the final product

To create product options:

1. In the left panel, click eCommerce, and then click Manage Store.
2. Click Catalog, and then click Products.
