Add product options

Follow this guide to add product options, such as Alternatives, Single-Choice, or Multiple-Choice options, to any product, bundle, or subscription. You'll configure headings, placement, and selection requirements so these options appear seamlessly at checkout.

Single Choice	Allows customers to select exactly one additional option.	Web
Multiple Choice	Allows customers to select any number of additional options.	Web Popup
