Add quantity on modifier

[smashnslide]

Hi all, can anyone tell me how I can add a quantity to a modifier? 

for example, if someone wants to add 2 or 3 extra patties, how can I add the option to allow them to do this within an item modifier? at the moment it only allows a checkbox with no quantity option.

Hi @smashnslide, thanks for flagging this! I had a play around with this myself as well and at the moment, there isn't a way for customer to select the same modifier twice or thrice, or enter a value for a modifier. 

A workaround would be to create another set of modifier called Extra. That way, if customer want to add a third for fourth patties, they can select it there as well. Or alternatively, you can create another modifier called 2 x patties or 3 x patties within the current modifier list and have that as an option for customers.

Hi, has this been resolved yet? This a KEY reason why I can't use Square as a major component of my business. Any branded website gives you the option to choose the quantity of a particular item. This should be a basic function on Square, it looks professional and is more familiar to the customer. PLEASE can the programmers sort this!

Thanks for checking in @BuenasBurritos! This is currently still a feature request and I don't yet have a timeline one when this will be available, but I'll be sure to share more updates on this thread when I have them.

This really needs to be a priority now, given after the pandemic many required the current crop of expensive online delivery partners (which I assume is why Square launched Online Ordering for Restaurant in the past year), it's a case of adding the parameter for 'How many times can a Modifier be selected', and start linking modifiers to items/create them as items for stock and sales purposes, instead of just text.

As much as I hate UberEats, they have really progressed on their menu maker, and a lot of their features and settings are so well resolved that it should become standard practice across the industry.

Hi @Faith01, thanks for adding to this thread. 

While there have been many new features implemented this year, I understand not every release will be beneficial to all businesses. Our team is continuously having conversations with our Product Teams on how we can streamline the feature request process and get meaningful features out for all of our sellers. 

We don't have an update on this particular request at the moment, but as soon as we do we will let you know.
