Below, we describe the backend functionality in more detail.

Backend

You can view and manage all created custom options templates, as well as add new templates from the Manage Option Templates page. The grid with the templates shows an ID and title of each template. From the Action column, you can edit or delete a template. The grid supports filtering and sorting.

When adding a new template, you need to configure the settings in three sections: Template Information, Products Selection, and Customizable Options.

In Template Information, create a name for your template.

In the Product Relations tab, you select the products from the grid to which you want to apply custom options.

The Customizable Options tab lets you assign multiple custom options to the template. Here you can set absolute values for cost, weight, and price. Then, specify the title and choose an input type from the options in four categories: Text (Field, Area), File (File), Select (Drop-down, Radio Buttons, Checkbox, Multiple Select), and Date (Date, Date & Time, Time). It is possible to make each option required for input on the frontend. Besides, you can allow customers to specify quantity for a product option (Qty Input toggle) and display custom option values as swatches (Is Swatch toggle). Also, you can enter a text for the option description. Other fields vary depending on the input type you choose.

Note that for the Drop-down, Radio Buttons, Checkbox, and Multiple Select input types, you can set option values dependency.

Moreover, Advanced Custom Option for Magento 2 allows exporting matrix data in a CSV file from the backend.

It is also possible to import matrix data via uploading a CSV file.

As for the Configuration section of the Magento 2 extension, here you will deal with the settings in four tabs: License Configuration, General Configuration, Advanced Custom Option Configuration, and Custom Option Inventory Configuration.

In License Configuration, enter your serial and activation keys.

In General Configuration, select relevant website domains that will become available after saving your license keys. Then, enable the advanced custom options extension.

The Advanced Custom Option Configuration tab lets you enable a wide range of settings. Here you can allow “Is Default” feature for custom options and cost, weight, and price parameters, as well as absolute values for them. Also, enable/disable one-time options, as well as the option and option value’s description and its mode (Tooltip or Plain Text Beside Option). Then, decide whether to show option swatches, allow customers to enter quantity input, and let admins manage the stock quantity and set custom option quantity. You can also enable setting dependent option values, as well as the matrix for stock management.

In Custom Option Inventory Configuration, you enable/disable option inventory display for storefront users, activate out of stock message, and hide or disable out of stock option values.

Frontend

Let’s have a look at some examples of custom product options on the frontend that you can create with the help of the Magento 2 Advanced Custom Option extension.

As we have mentioned, you can set product option values dependencies. In the example below, ‘Model’ is a parent option. ‘Capacity’ and ‘Color’ options become available when a customer selects a value of the parent option.

In the drop-down menu of the ‘Model’ values, you can also see a surcharge amount for each phone model.

You can also use absolute price for the product options that will replace an original price depending on the selected value.

Also, it is possible to set default values for particular custom options. In the following example, ‘Leather’ and ‘Brown’ values are selected by default.
