Adding an Option

Please be aware that any options added here manually may be inadvertently changed, based on the selected Options Lists action chosen during an XMLProduct Import (if the shopping cart system supports that functionality).

   1. If desired, enter informational data in the Code, Prompt and Image Path fields; the Code and Prompt fields are only used by some shopping cart systems and the Image Path field refers to an image at the Web site
   2. If the price or cost of the product changes depending on the option that is selected, enter the modifier in the Price +/- or Cost +/- fields; for instance if an XXL T-shirt costs $2.00 more than T-shirts S-XL, enter $2.00 in the Cost +/- field for the XXL option
   3. Is a Label – this field only applies to some shopping cart systems that allow the merchant to utilize alternative text to list a product at the Web site rather than using the less friendlySKU
   4. Default – check this box if this option should be default entry presented to the user when the product is purchased
