How Do I Add Product Extras to WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 11:27 pm

Product extras are a great way to add more value to your products and increase customer satisfaction. By offering product extras, you can give your customers the option to add on additional services or products that they may be interested in. For example, if you sell tickets to an event, you could offer an extra for VIP seating or early access to the event.

Adding product extras to WooCommerce is easy with the Product Add-ons extension. With this extension, you can add new fields to your product pages for customer input. You can then use this information to add the extra to the order when it is placed.

To get started, first install and activate the Product Add-ons extension. Once you have done this, you will need to create a new product field.

To do this, go to WooCommerce > Add-ons and click on the “Fields” tab. From here, you can add a new field by clicking on the “Add Field” button.

You will then need to configure your new field. Give it a name and description, and then select what type of field it is.

For product extras, you will want to choose the “Multiple Choice” field type. This will allow your customers to select from a list of options that you provide.

After you have created your new field, you can then add it to your products. To do this, edit the product that you want to add the extra to and scroll down to the “Product Add-ons” section.

Here, you will see a list of all the fields that you have created. Select the field that you want to add and it will be added to the product page.

You can then configure how the field will be displayed on the product page. You can set it to be required or optional, and set a default value if you want one. You can also choose how many choices your customers will be able to select from.

Once you have configured your product extra, save your changes and preview your product page. You should now see your new field displayed on the page. Your customers can now select from the options that you have provided when they purchase your product.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with WooCommerce and/or product extras, we recommend that you consult with a qualified developer or WooCommerce support before attempting to add product extras to your WooCommerce site. Adding product extras can be complex and may adversely affect the stability of your WooCommerce site if not done correctly.

Product extras are a great way for customers to get more value from their purchase, and by offering them through WooCommerce, businesses make it easy for customers find and buy these extras.
