How custom pricing & variants work

Within your catering store, you might have products that require custom pricing and variants.

BentoBox allows you to handle quantity in two ways: Standard and Per Person. Each catering product has a quantity option that can be selected from the dropdown menu. You will also have the capability to set a minimum quantities ie. minimum 2 orders or minimum 6 people.

Once you’ve set a price and weight for the product, you can begin creating Custom Options.

Click the “Add Custom Option” button and select the field type. The different field types are:

• Dropdown - Best for products where the customer chooses one option ie. one flavor of cupcake
• Checkbox - Best for products where the customer chooses several options ie. toppings
• Quantity - Best for products where the customer chooses amounts ie. a dozen mixed cupcake options
• Freeform - This allows the customer to write and tell you exactly what they want, rather than choose from pre-selected options. This is good for products that have special instructions ie. a sheet cake that includes customization.

Dropdown, Checkbox, and Quantity fields all allow you to set additional charges for particular options ie. A dozen cupcakes costs $30. To make them gluten free its an addition +$3 per cupcake.
