Magento 2 Product Custom Options Extension by Mageplaza

Including custom product options is among the best methods to gain more profit for stores and serve shoppers more professionally. However, in Magento 2 default, store admins only can assign options to products by utilizing the Import option or include options manually. There is no other way which can create better efficiency.

Understanding that, Mageplaza has launched its Magento 2 Customer Product Options extension, supporting admins to quickly assign options to many products through templates. That can enhance the admin experience and boost site performance significantly.

Why should you opt for the Mageplaza Product Custom Options for Magento 2?

Upgrade customizable options

The most notable feature of the extension is including more specifications for the customizable options. Store admins can include more information in the options to make them informative and appealing to shoppers:

• Visual Swatch and Text Swatch: Display swatch as images or text of an option
• Option Quantity: Enter stock quantity for an option
• Option Weight: Enter weight for an option
• Option Tooltip: Enter tooltip note/ description for an option
• Option Dependency: Create an option based on others

Provide advanced price for product options

Store owners can drive sales for specific product options by including special price and tier price. The advanced prices will be presented directly (special price) or through tooltip (tier price), so shoppers can easily notice. Every tier price can be assigned according to:

• Website
• Customer groups
• Quantity

Add options for a product via templates

With Product Custom Options, store admins can include options in products via ready-made templates.

Before assigning options to an item, admins can generate various templates. A template can be considered a group of options with information like option type, option title, option price, option SKU, and price type.

As the templates are available, admins can link the favorite templates to any items they want. Using templates can help remove all repeated actions when admins add the same options to various items. That contributes to a better admin experience in the backend.

Offer ways to mass-assign product options

When you generate options for a template, there are multiple assignment methods to assign that template to items.

The first method allows you to assign templates by Product IDs. The second one is using Product SKUs. Both methods are executed at the template edit page, and you can fill in one or several IDs or SKUs of products. Moreover, store admins can apply templates for many items from the Product Grid.

Edit template onsite

On the Product Edit Page, after choosing a template, if store admins want to make some adjustments, the template can be edited with ease. After the template is loaded, if the Link template checkbox is not clicked, the values of the template can be changed.

Additional features

Import/ Export templates

The extension supports importing and exporting the templates through XML files.

Support default value

Users can choose the default value for each option.

Mass-assign templates

Store admins can assign templates for mass products via the Actions box at the Product Grid.

Choose templates via a popup

The module allows selecting templates via a popup.

Link/ Unlink after template removal

The product options linked with a template can be eliminated or unlinked after the template is cleared.
