How to create option set:

Introduction

There are two ways to create a new option in the Tepo app: build from scratch or use a template. This guide provides a comprehensive step-by-step process for creating a new option set from scratch. Please refer to this guide if you prefer using a template.

Create a New Option Set from Scratch

Step 1. Go to Option set page:

From the app’s navigation menu, on the left-hand side of the screen, please select the Option Sets tab.

Click on the Create option set button, and then select the option labeled Create from scratchfrom the dropdown menu. This selection indicates that you wish to build a new option set without using a template.

You will be automatically redirected to the option set editor page. This page is the workspace where you will configure and manage your new option set.



The option set editor page is divided into two main sections for ease of use:

The Options List section is on the screen's left side. This allows you to manage all the options that will be included in your option set. You can add new options, edit existing ones, and remove no longer needed options.

The Preview Product Page section is on the screen's right side. This area provides a preview of how the added options will appear on your store's product page. This feature enables you to visualize the layout and make necessary adjustments before finalizing the option set.

Step 3. Add New Option Set

Within the Options List section, you will see a button labeled +Add new option. Click on this button to begin adding new options to your option set.

Upon clicking the +Add new option button, a dropdown menu will appear, displaying a variety of option types that you can add to your option set.

These option types include: Text option (Single-line & Multi-line text); Photo upload; File Upload; Toggle; Date & Time Picker; Font Picker; Color Picker; Image swatch; Color swatch; Checkbox; Radio button; Image Dropdown; Dropdown list; Inline button; Combobox; Heading; Description; Divider; Option Group; Cross-product-link; HTML.

Step 4. After choosing an option type, you'll see all general settings for this option.

(These settings will be a little different between each option type)

Option title

This title will be displayed on the product page above the option values, providing customers with a clear understanding of what the option is for.

Option values

For option types of Image/Color swatch, Checkbox, Radio button, Dropdown & Inline button, you will need to add option values which your customers can choose from

Click on the +Add new button to add a new option value. A new input field will appear where you can enter the name or label for the option value.



Optional settings:

Pre-select value: If you want a specific value to be pre-selected by default, you can choose it from this setting. This is useful for guiding customers towards a recommended option.

Mark as required: Enable this setting if you want to make the option compulsory. When enabled, customers will be required to select an option or fill in the field before they can add the item to the cart. This ensures that critical information is collected before the purchase is completed.

Add-on price: Link option values with existing product variants to add an extra charge for specific options. This is useful for options that have an add-on price, such as premium materials or customizations. You can check our guide for references.

Show tooltip: Add a tooltip text or short information for the option.

Custom class: Use this field to apply custom CSS styling to the option. Enter the CSS class name that you want to apply to the option for custom styling.

Conditional settings: Add rules to display the option based on previous selections made by the customer. This feature allows for dynamic option sets that adapt based on customer choices, providing a more personalized experience. You can find more information about the conditional settings in our guide here.
