Creating Modifier Options

A modifier option details the characteristics of the modifier. It allows you to offer a wide range of selections that suits the desires of the majority of your audience across age groups, health concerns, and taste preferences. For example, a sauce might be a modifier with options as Mayo, hot sauce, and barbeque sauce.

Note: it is mandatory to create the related modifier before adding the modifier options (Click here if you have not created a modifier yet).
