Options let you give customers choices for an article. unTill makes this distinction:
Modifier (condiment): a free addition, such as 'no ice', 'with soy milk' or 'gluten-free'.
Supplement: a paid addition, such as a salad with bread or an extra portion of chips.
Required option: a question that always appears when you ring up the article, for example the choice of bread for a sandwich.
