Modifier Sets Page

Modifiers are the options customers choose when they buy a cafe item: milk, size of the shot, sugar, extras. A modifier set groups the options for one choice (for example, “Milk” with Full Cream, Skim and Soy), and each option can carry an extra charge. Manage them on the Modifier Sets page in POS Cafe, where you can create sets from scratch or import products you’ve already set up in Shopify.

Note

POS Cafe stores each modifier set as a Shopify product, with each option as a variant of that product. These products live in your modifier collection (‘POS Cafe - Modifiers’ by default), which you can change in Settings → Admin Settings → Modifier Collection.

Create a modifier set from scratch

1. Click Create modifier set on the Modifier Sets page. The button is unavailable until a modifier collection is set in Settings.

2. Give the set a title that describes the choice it covers, such as Milk or Extras.

3. Choose the selection rules. Tick Allow multiple Modifier options to be selected if a customer can pick more than one option from this set on the same item. Require a modifier option to be selected is ticked by default; untick it to make the set optional.

4. Add the options. Each option has a Title, an Additional charge and an optional SKU. Click Add option for each one.

   Note

   Put the option you want selected by default first, for example No sugar or Full Cream Milk. When the set is required, staff and customers must choose at least one option from it on every product it’s assigned to.

5. Set the status. Product Status can be Active, Draft or Unlisted. New modifier sets start as Unlisted.

6. Set the online sales channel. Online Sales Channel (Enabled or Disabled) controls whether the set is available in your online store. New sets start as Disabled.

7. Click Save.

8. Refresh POS Cafe on your devices. The POS Cafe tile picks up the new set when it next refreshes its menu; to see it straight away, refresh POS Cafe on the device. See Refreshing POS Cafe.

Import modifier sets from Shopify

Use this if you’ve already created modifier products in Shopify, or imported them from another store.

1. Click Import from Shopify in the top right corner of the Modifier Sets page.

2. Select the products to use as modifier sets.

3. Convert each one. A product that wasn’t created in POS Cafe shows a Convert to POS Cafe modifier set banner when you open it. Check the set and its options, save, then click Convert to POS Cafe modifier set. To convert several at once, select them on the Modifier Sets page, choose Bulk Convert Modifier, set the selection rules and click Convert.
