Working with Options
Options provide a way for you to offer a choice of variables to your Quick Shopping Cart patrons. These might include size, color, or style for a specific product. Options are assigned to a product and do not automatically impact the price of a product. Although, you can set price increases or decreases for each option. Once created, options are available to each product through the individual product page. You do not have to assign any options to a product.
In the Wizard Builder, Options are NOT available in Step 2: Product Catalog. In the Advanced Builder, Options are assigned to products on the Products page.
