Can you have a quantity associated with modifiers?

I am looking to see if you can choose multiple of 1 particular item in a modifier set.

Example. I sell a doz bagels and the customer wants 5 of them plain 5 sesame seed and 2 onion. Is there a way to allow this to happen.?

If not is there a way to have a comment box in the modifier set like if I was ordering on the i-pad.

You would select your item, Qty, and modifier.   So it would say 5 bagels on the line with a price and then under it Sesame seed,  you do it again only this time 5 bagels and no modifier, then 2 bagels with onion.   However, if you are baking plain, sesame seed, onion bagels and they are ready to grab and go and you are not adding sesame seeds at the time of order I would put them each in as an item and not with a modifier.   This way you can keep track of what you sell the most of easier.

This is a much-needed feature for our bakery as well. We have 3 separate products: Dozen Cupcakes, Half Dozen Cupcakes and Individual cupcakes. Since we're a new business , customers want to try us out and they order a dozen of cupcakes with 2 cupcakes from 6 different flavors. I know they could go to the individual item and add it 6 times but that's not a very smooth interface for the customer. Plus we offer a price break for ordering a full dozen vs 12 individual items.  If we make it hard for them to order, they simply don't order. The alternative is for us to decide and sell a "mix of predetermined flavors". Either way, the customer doesn't get what they want.

 

Shopify online stores have had this feature for years. Please add it in one of the updates coming soon.

Hello,

Any updates on this feature? Every week I have 5 or more costumers calling the store saying they can't add how many specific flavours they want.
At this point I just added a text modifier so they can at least write their quantity there... frustrating 😒

Can you tell me how you did this?    I have the radial button on my modifier set, but not sure how to add a text modifier as well.   That may be the workaround I need until Square does something about this.

hey man, 

if you go to the item, you can edit or create a modifier and it will ask if you want a list or a text...

 I took a print screen but for some reason the site is not allowing me to upload ..

Bumping this thread. Any update? This has been requested by so many sellers for so long, and there aren’t  any effective and efficient solutions. So disappointed!

I checked into this one, and there is no update just yet, @tyler + @igorramade.

 

We'll be sure to update this thread when we have an update to share here.
In the meantime, we bubbled this thread up to the responsible team for visibility.

Is it that difficult? Pretty much every POS system on the market has this capability, and I would think feature is one of the most fundamentals in the ordering process of many if not all restaurant. A simple order of 1 black coffee with 2 cream and 3 sugar is now "Item: 1 black coffee, modifier: add sugar, modifier: how many sugar, modifier: add cream, modifier: how many cream". It's maddening.

Same issue.  We offer a discounted 6 pack.  I have the flavours listed as variables but there is no functionality to select a quantity.  In store we select the flavours on the screen then write on the docket (I have usually forgotten by then and have to ask again).  About to start online ordering and I don’t know how to work around this.

This is an absolute must!  We sell variety packs of our smoked cheese and I get questions very frequently about why they cannot select more than one of any of the flavors.   We have 18 flavors and they may want 2 of one of flavor in their variety pack, or 2 of each flavor - whatever.   It should be as simple as creating a drop down to select the quantity of each flavor they want.   Seems pretty simple to this layperson so I am not sure why it hasn't been done.

Yeah I see that!  We are watching the fees associated with each credit card very closely and it seems like we may need to make a switch soon!   They make enough money off of us, we should get the simple things that we need.  And this fix really does sound like a simple one to me.

Same, if a customer wants 3 sugar, we have to have ar least 3 modifier line like this: 1 sugar, 2 sugar, 3 sugar, what a nightmare...

Yup.. nightmare !! Specially when customers call the store pretty much every day to say that they can’t  add 3 of the same flavour selection 🤦‍

to be honest I gave up.. already started the shopify site, at this point I don’t care about paying more.. at least I’ll be getting more.

 

2022: - electric cars, 5g, artificial intelligence, meta verse, etc…

Square: - still can’t add a drop down next to a modifier

Any updates? Can modifier quantities be added to an order through the Square API?

No updates at this time @hello-ad. At this time Modifier quantities are still a feature request. I will make sure to pass your interest over to our product team for their visibility and consideration on this matter.

 

P.S. Welcome to the Seller Community

Hi! I think this is the thread for what I am trying to figure out how to do. I'm wanting to know what I need to do to be able to add the same topping to a pizza multiple times and charge each time so making a note wouldn't work. For example having a pizza and adding jalapenos and then extra jalapenos, so basically x2. Thanks for your help, this is crucial to my menu building as a pizza restaurant.

In regards to Pizza restaurants, what I've seen is they create modifiers call Pepperoni or Extra Pepperoni and adjust the price to the modifiers accordingly. 

 

I hope this helps @PizzaCo. Either way, I will be sharing your interest in this feature with the team as well.

Thank you for the suggestion, I did consider doing this but unfortunately we already offer 25 topping choices and adding Extra to them would make our already long list to search through a list of 50. Also I have several customers that want 3 and 4 times the amount of the same toppings so I'm really needing an option like a drop down menu to select the amount of times they want the topping. Is this an option that I am missing? Thanks again!
