Modifiers and modifier groups allow you to add additional information or options to your products. They are commonly referred to as "options" or "extras" on other platforms.
Once created, they can be attached to products in your account.
This article is only relevant if you do not have a POS integration. If you do have a POS, you can instead sync your products, modifiers, and modifier groups.
Modifiers
A modifier is an item that customers can choose for a product, that exists inside a modifier group. For a pizza, some modifiers could be cheese, pepperoni, and pineapple.
Modifier Groups
A modifier group brings together modifiers you want to add to a product. For example, if you have a pizza product, a modifier group could be "Choose your Toppings".
Example
Take a look at the example below and how they are displayed in Deliverect.
Product: Fries
Modifier group: Sauce
Modifiers: Ketchup, Mayonnaise
