Create and Manage Item Modifiers

If you need customisable options – toppings, add-ons or special requests – create item modifiers. Modifiers that are applied to items will display on your customers’ digital receipts, in Transactions in your online Dashboard and in the Item Details report.

Unlike price points used for sizes, colours or SKUs, item modifiers don’t decrease inventory counts if inventory management is turned on.
