Cart, checkout & orders

Everything a customer picks or types stays with the product, from the cart to the order. This page shows where it appears.

An item with options goes into the cart as one line. Its choices are listed under the product name, in the same order and words as the product page.

A cart line for an Engraved Slate House Sign at £58.20. Under the name: Edit options, then Slate finish: Riven (+£6.00), Edge profile: Bevelled (+£8.00) and Line 1: THE OLD MILL (+£10.20).
Each choice on its own row, with what it added.
  • Each choice shows what it adds, such as “Slate finish: Riven (+£6.00)”.
  • A percentage sits on its choice, with the money it came to, such as “Dibond (+45%, £9.90)”.
  • A set where they picked several is named once, with every pick listed under it.
  • A typed size keeps its unit, such as “1500 × 1000 mm”.
  • The line price already includes every choice and field.

Each line also has an Edit options link. It reopens the product with every choice filled in. See edit options from the cart.

The same choices are saved on the order. They show:

  • on the order screen in your admin
  • in the customer’s confirmation email
  • in the customer’s account, under their orders
  • in the other emails your shop sends about the order

A file the customer uploaded is attached to the order, so whoever makes it has the artwork.

A quantity grid order puts each colour and size on its own line. Your team can pick a team order one row at a time.

When a customer places a name or a logo on the product, the picture of their design goes with the order. It shows in the cart, at checkout, on the order screen, in the customer’s account and in your shop’s emails.

In the cart it shows as a small badge. Tap it to open the full picture.

Express checkout stands down where it cannot work

Section titled “Express checkout stands down where it cannot work”

Buttons such as Apple Pay and Google Pay skip the product page. On a product with required options, that means an order with no answers.

So on those products, AddOnBoss hides the express buttons. A required upload counts as a required option.

  • A product whose options are all optional keeps its express buttons.
  • Mollie and Amazon Pay buttons also step back while the shopper has any optional answer picked. They return when the last one is cleared.
For developers

To show the buttons anyway, return true from the addon_boss_allow_express_pay filter. It works on every product or on the ones you choose. Those orders then arrive without the answers the product asks for.

Text a customer types and files they upload are included in WooCommerce’s personal data export and erase tools.

Prices are fixed when the item is added

A cart line keeps the names and prices from when it was added. Editing an option set later changes future picks only. It never changes a line already in a cart, or an order already placed.

Add an item with options to your cart. Each choice should show under the product name, with what it added. Place a test order, and the same rows appear on the order screen and in the email.
