How to increase number of option sets on each item

[web4]

I've been trying to figure out a way to rework the Square POS at my coffee shop and it would be helpful to have more than 6 option sets I could add to each item. For example, I would want to have a latte with the following options on the page:

• size
• here or togo cup
• flavors
• number of shots
• regular/decaf/half-caf
• milk options
• seasonal flavors
• sugars
• amount of ice
• toppings (whip, drizzle, etc)
• etc.

I know that some of these could probably be combined, but I feel that it would be easier to understand and look cleaner if I didn't have categories mixed together into one "option"

Does anyone have any ideas or workarounds for this issue?

Thanks in advance! 🙂

Hey @web4.  If I am reading your question correctly, your issue is not the limit on the number of options, but rather on the fact that you should NOT be using options in this case. You should be using modifiers.

Options are used to quickly build LOTS of variations.  For example, say someone has a shirt in 6 colors and with 5 sizes.  Instead of having to enter 30 variations, they could use options to build the 30 variations for them.

You are trying to give your customers modifiers to define the item they want.  You would do this by creating a modifier set for each of the things you mentioned above.  Each set would contain the choices.  So, for example, for the modifier “Size” you might have the choices Small, Medium and Large.
