--- title: "Modifiers and modifier groups" description: "Let customers choose: sauces, fillings, toppings and sizes." url: "https://unipage.be/en/support/get-started-now/modifiers-and-modifier-groups" --- # Modifiers and modifier groups With modifiers, you let the customer make a choice on a product: the sauce with a snack, the filling on a sandwich, the toppings on a pizza. You can create a modifier directly on the product page, but we recommend working with **modifier groups**: you link one group to as many products as you like, and you only have to make changes in one place. *The same Bakje friet with add-ons, as your customer sees it per product. Voorbeelden: [Webshop](https://unipage.be/storage/support/screens/addons-webshop.png) · [Unikiosk](https://unipage.be/storage/support/screens/addons-kiosk.png) · [Unipos PLUS](https://unipage.be/storage/support/screens/addons-kassa.png)* ## An example Say you sell a **Bakje friet** (a tray of chips) for 2,00 euro in three sizes. Instead of three separate products, you create one product with an add-on **Size**: - **Small**: the base price of 2,00 euro - **Medium**: + 1,00 euro - **Large**: + 2,00 euro Your customer must choose one size, and the price adjusts automatically: on the webshop, at the kiosk and on the POS. Want more choice on the same product? Feel free to add extra add-ons: **Sauces** with the options Mayonnaise and Ketchup (each + 0,50 euro), or a free question such as **Would you like salt on your chips?** with Yes or No. This is exactly how the Bakje friet in the examples above is built. ## The terms - **Modifier group**: the bundle you create and link to products. The name is internal: your customer does not see it. - **Add-on**: a choice group within the modifier group, such as Size or Sauces. Your customer sees this question on the webshop, POS and kiosk. - **Option**: one choice within an add-on, such as Mayonnaise. You can create an option separately with its own price, or you can use an existing product as an option: it automatically follows its own product price. ## Creating a modifier group 1. Go to [Products, Modifiers](https://beheer.unipage.eu/deeplink/addon-groups) on the management page. 2. Click **New modifier group** (Nieuwe variatiegroep). 3. Give the modifier group a name. This is an internal name: your customer does not see it. The names of the add-ons and the options do appear on the webshop, POS and kiosk. 4. Choose the type: - **1 choice**: the customer must choose exactly one option. The first option is the default choice. - **Multiple choices**: the customer chooses freely, or within a **minimum and maximum**. For example: at least 2 and at most 4 toppings. - **Number**: a number is entered instead of a choice being made, free or with a price per unit. 5. Add your choices: - **Add an option** for separate options with their own price. - **Add a product** to offer existing products as a choice: choose the category, select the products and click **Add**. 6. Drag the options into the right order using the dots on the left. 7. Click **Save**. > **Tip:** Is an option also a separate product in your range, for example a can of soft drink? Then click **Link a product** (Koppel een product) next to the options instead of typing a new option. The name, price and VAT are copied automatically, which saves time. And because the option stays linked to the product, it is neatly included in your [stock management](/en/support/unipos-plus/orders-and-kitchen/stock-management). How optional modifiers appear on the POS, as a popup or in the side panel next to the receipt, is explained in [Product management on the POS](https://unipage.be/en/support/unipos-plus/getting-started/product-management-on-the-pos). ## Prices of options - An option can have a **surcharge**, be **free**, or even have a **negative price** (a discount when an ingredient is left out). - A **product** as an option always automatically follows its own product price. You cannot set this separately here. ## Linking modifier groups to products 1. Go to [Products](https://beheer.unipage.eu/deeplink/producten) and choose a category. 2. Tick the products, or select everything using the checkbox next to **product** at the top. 3. Click **More actions** (Meer acties) and then **Modifier groups** (Variatiegroepen), choose the group and confirm. If you link several groups, the order in which you click them determines their order on the POS and webshop. ## Product per number or per person Do you sell something per person or per item within one order, such as a basket of sandwiches by number of people? 1. Create a product with a **base price of 0 euro**. 2. On the product page, go to **Specific modifiers for this product** (Specifieke variaties voor dit product) and choose the type **Number**. 3. Set the minimum and maximum (for example at least 4, at most 15 people) and set the **price per unit** on the option itself (for example 14 euro per person). 4. Check the VAT rate and set the product to available. The customer chooses a number within your limits and the total is calculated automatically. Warning: this set-up is not suitable for tiered discounts (cheaper per item for larger quantities). A number does not have to cost anything, by the way. For a bottle of wine, for example, ask for the number of **glasses** (0 euro): your staff member enters '3 glasses' with the order, and the bar immediately knows how many glasses to bring. --- *This is a markdown version of [https://unipage.be/en/support/get-started-now/modifiers-and-modifier-groups](https://unipage.be/en/support/get-started-now/modifiers-and-modifier-groups) for AI/LLM use.
