What's new & coming

AddOnBoss grows from what shop owners ask for. If a way of selling your products is awkward or missing, that is exactly what we want to hear, and it is how most of what is here got built.

AddOnBoss 2.10.1

Released 1 Nov 2026.

Nine new languages. German, Dutch (the Netherlands, formal and Belgium), Polish, Portuguese (Portugal), Swedish, Danish, Finnish, and English for Australia and Canada, every string including Pro. Each starts from WooCommerce’s own wording for that country: German says “du”, and Australian and Canadian English say “cart”.

Every Pro string in Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese (Brazil). Uploads, quantity discounts, shop filters, print areas and tags included.

Quantity breaks in your own language (Pro). Breaks and price table sizes can be typed with the shop’s own words, such as “bis 9” and “ab 25” in German. English words and <= keep working everywhere.

Download artwork stays on the order (Pro). When a customer’s original upload has been cleared away, the order screen, the New Order email and the supplier link use the order’s own saved copy. Older orders get their button back with no step from you.

Fixes. In German, a measurement or a part keeps its capital inside a sentence (“Maximum für Breite ist 1830 mm.”). Counts, dates and units follow each language. The personal data export and erase tools say AddOnBoss, where they said BundleBoss.

AddOnBoss 2.10.0

Released 30 Oct 2026.

Add a length to each measurement (Pro). A part of a measured size can add a length to each measurement before it is charged, in a unit of its own, such as Add to each measurement: 50 mm. A glass shop that charges 50 mm over the size cut charges 600 × 520 mm as 650 × 570 mm. The piece is made to the size typed. The length comes before Round up, and your size limits still read the size typed. Under the price, the note reads “Glass charged as 650 × 570 mm (50 mm added to height and width). Made to 600 × 520 mm.” The cart, the order and the emails show the size typed, then a row of its own: “Charged as: 650 × 570 mm (50 mm added)”. See add a length to each measurement.

Sides that follow a list (Pro). A part charged per foot or metre of edge can be charged on the sides another list picks. A shutter’s profile runs on the three sides away from its Handle side, and the handle on that side. With No handle, the profile goes all round. Set every answer with one click, Only the side named or Every side except the one named, or click its sides on a small square. Dark sides are charged. The quick link stays with the part: a choice added later follows it when it names a side, and any other waits until you set its sides. See charge only some sides.

Pieces can be turned to fit (Pro). Ticked beside a set’s limits, a pane that fits only the other way round, such as 1830 × 2440 mm from a 2440 × 1830 mm sheet, is taken, priced and made as typed. On for new sets, off for saved ones, and never on a set whose parts follow a list’s sides.

Glass and shutter templates (Pro). Glass by sq ft and Shutters come with their parts, sizes and lists. The lists are made when you first save. New guide below.

Lists come with their set (Pro). A list a part is priced or sided by joins every product with the set, right after the size, so the page always asks it. A part names its choice, such as “Polish: Edge polish”.

One wording for the size charged (Pro). “Charged as” the size, with the reason in brackets. A rounded size reads “charged as 5 × 2 ft (rounded up)” in the cart, the order and the emails. Orders placed before keep their words.

Rates that add up (Pro). A part at one rate shows it beside its name, such as Glass £6.00 per sq ft. A line prints “× rate” only where that sum is exact, and the lines add up to the price, with a “Raised to the minimum” line where the minimum applies. A size button is priced as the same size typed. In a shop whose prices are entered with tax and shown without it, or the other way round, the lines leave out “× rate”. The set editor says why and links to WooCommerce’s Use recommended settings. See when a line shows no “× rate”.

Sizes past a limit are refused (Pro). The box keeps what was typed, says why, such as “Maximum width is 1830 mm.” or “Width must be a whole number of mm, such as 600 or 601.”, and Add to cart waits. Nothing is cut down to the limit, on sets made before too. A new set has no smallest size until you type one, and the editor says so.

Per sq ft on a set in mm (Pro). The price menu offers per m² and per sq ft whatever unit a set measures in. A size typed in mm and rounded to feet counts the trade’s 305 mm foot, so 2440 × 1830 mm is 8 × 6 ft.

A clearer set editor (Pro). Each limit also reads in the unit customers type, such as “100 to 2440 mm”. A limit typed in the wrong unit is flagged, with These limits are mm to fix it. A part’s Price and Sides menus offer Edit list and + New list…, and the product’s attach menu offers + New set…. Each new list or set comes back picked. The preview beside the editor starts with nothing picked, as the product page does.

Copy a setup for one product. Take the setup from another product keeps a new product’s title, and Make copies only for this product gives it its own sets. Duplicate opens the copy, which keeps the name shoppers read, with Show “…” instead to change it.

“From” the cheapest you can buy (Pro). A product priced only by its size shows “From” its cheapest size with the cheapest choices it needs, on its page and in the shop, where it showed £0.00.

Part figures on your order screen (Pro). Each measured line shows what every part was charged on, such as “Profile: 8.858 ft of edge (left, top, and bottom)”. Customers never see it.

“Each measurement” in the rounding words (Pro). Round up now reads “each measurement, before the area”, where 2.9.0 said “each side”. Sides now means the edges of a piece.

Copies keep the new settings. Duplicating a set, copying it to a group, an option-sets file and the Import / export page all keep them. A set that uses none of them prices and prints as before.

New guide: glass cut to size and profile shutters, step by step, with worked prices.

AddOnBoss 2.9.0

Measured sizes priced by their parts (Pro). A part of a measured size can be priced by another list on the product: glass by its thickness, polish by its edge finish. Each choice shows its rate, such as £50.00 per sq ft. A choice left without a price is named on the page and refused at the basket, never charged at nothing. See give each choice its own rate.

Rounding the way the trade quotes (Pro). A part can round up before it is charged, such as each side to the next half foot. The size made is the size typed; only the charge rounds. Under the price, one line per part shows how it is made, such as 5 × 2 ft = 10 sq ft × £60.00. The cart, the order and the emails carry the size typed and the size charged.

What a quantity break saves (Pro). The running total shows the price before the break struck through, with You save £114.50 under it.

Hide prices, keep the ones that matter (Pro). With Prices on choices set to Hidden, Still show prices on keeps chosen lists priced. Hide the percentages a size adds and still show +£5.00 on an artwork check. A choice that adds a percentage of a price table’s size, such as double-sided at +40%, shows it as money once a size is picked: +£3.33.

A copied price table keeps its percentages (Pro). A price table duplicated, copied to a group, or moved by a file or the Import / export page now keeps its percentage price changes. Before, a copy sold double-sided at the single-sided price. If you copied or imported a table with percentages on 2.8.0 or earlier, check its price changes.

Smaller changes. Step by step no longer prints “1 of 3 chosen” under the step rail (Pro). A measured size with no ready-made sizes opens with its boxes showing (Pro). A product with a required measured size or price table can’t go on the quantity grid, which can’t ask for a size (Pro). A size typed in the set’s own unit can be bought and reopens in that unit from Edit options (Pro). Full price on the first list also works on the quantity grid and behind Enter my own size (Pro). Activating AddOnBoss without WooCommerce stays on Plugins with a button to install or activate it.

Ready for BundleBoss 6.7.0. An answer a bundle includes carries the note written on it here. The bundle then names it in the same words as the product’s own page.

AddOnBoss 2.8.0

Every step from the start (Pro). In Step by step, every step shows from the first screen, none of them dashed. A product made of sections keeps its sections as the steps. On a product without sections, lists shown instead of each other share one step, and a list that follows an answer opens inside its step. A floor sticker reads Step 1 of 3, and the count never grows. A step your answers rule out slides away, and comes back if the answer changes. See Step by step.

Full prices on every size list (Pro). With Full price on the first list, lists shown instead of each other each show full prices. A floor sticker with a size list for each shape shows what each size costs, whichever shape is picked. A choice that opens a size the customer types in shows no figure. See Prices on choices.

Smaller fixes. A dropdown or colour choice saved without a value, such as one brought in by an import, can be chosen and bought. A custom size on its smallest or largest limit stays valid when the shopper switches unit. Edit options in the cart counts a per-letter charge as soon as it opens. An upload field never promises a bigger file than your server takes. On photo cards, Sold out and Only 2 left sit on their own card, and a set with no photos shows plain choices instead of empty frames.

Ready for BundleBoss 6.6.0. Once BundleBoss 6.6.0 is out, the total under a product’s options and under its quantity grid takes an offer off as the cart will, such as buy 2, get 1 free, with what it saves and what one more would save. A choice’s note also shows inside a bundle (Pro), and a free gift or a bought-together price chosen on a quantity grid carries through to the cart.

AddOnBoss 2.7.1

The right VAT on print jobs. On a print job charged at its own VAT rate, from SupplierBoss, the total, the sticky price bar, the cart and the order show what the cart charges, both ways of a VAT switch.

AddOnBoss 2.7.0

Rebuilt option set editors. A new option set starts on What kind of set?, one card per kind, with its templates one click away. Every editor has one Save bar and shows the customer’s page beside it, on a real product, on desktop or phone. The list of choices shows each choice with its price, colour and note.

More on each choice (Pro). A choice also carries its photo, its stock and what it can’t go with. Rules read as pairs.

Price tables you edit in place (Pro). Edit the grid where it is, paste from a spreadsheet with Undo, and read each rounding rule in your own sizes. A typed size says how far it goes, such as “Up to 1200 mm”. A size past it says “Maximum 1200 mm” and stops Add to cart.

Measured sizes priced by parts (Pro). A set-up charge, a price per m² or per metre, and a minimum. Existing sets price as before.

Long lists and single answers. A long list of choices shows 12 at first, with Show all and a search box. A required set with only one answer left is answered for the shopper.

A warning when the shop price is wrong. The product screen warns when shop pages show a price nobody can pay, and Use £12.00 fills in the cheapest size.

Clearer cart and order lines. Cart and order rows follow the product page. A several-of set is named once, a typed size keeps its unit, and a percentage sits on its choice, such as “Dibond (+45%, £9.90)”. Shopper text says cart, as WooCommerce does.

The full list, with every fix, is in the changelog on the WordPress.org page.

AddOnBoss 2.6.0

Full price on the first list (Pro). A product’s Prices on choices has a new way to read: the first list shows what the product costs with each choice, such as £20.50 for a larger sign, and every list below it shows what it adds, such as +£5.00 for artwork. It replaces Every price, which put a whole price on every list, extras included, where that figure is never what the customer pays. A product already set to Every price now reads this way. Ready-made sizes follow the setting too. See prices on choices.

Prices on choices on every product (Pro). A product that cannot use the quantity grid, such as a sign sold only by size, now has the setting under its own heading on the Product options panel.

The size line says “+”. When the base price already covers the smallest size, the line under a typed size reads “+£22.55 for this size”, like the size buttons, and “No extra charge for this size” when it costs nothing more.

Uploads named in the total. The running total names an uploaded file by its own name, such as “Your photo: logo.png”.

AddOnBoss 2.5.0

Type a measured size in any unit (Pro). On a cut-to-size product, customers can type the size in mm, cm, m, in or ft, and the price is the same whichever they use. Switch it on under Custom size in the set. See let customers type their own size.

VAT switch and typed sizes (Pro). Flipping an incl./excl. VAT switch on the page now moves the “for this size” line and the price badges on ready-made sizes at once, in step with the total.

Repeat panel note (Pro). The charge note names the price type you picked, such as Price per character, instead of saying Quantity based for every type.

AddOnBoss 2.4.1

One Save for the Settings page. Every card on AddOnBoss › Settings now saves with one button, in a bar that stays at the foot of the window while you scroll, and it tells you when something is not saved yet.

Shop filters keep out of your feeds, always (Pro). The switch is gone: Facebook and Google always get your own colours, never a family.

AddOnBoss 2.4.0

Shop filters (Pro). Your shop’s own filters, such as WooCommerce’s, WOOF or YITH, now find products by the colours and sizes chosen through AddOnBoss. Shades fold into fourteen colour families, so French Navy and Oxford Navy are Navy. Sizes go into a list per kind: Size, Waist, Leg length, Women’s, Kids, Shoe and more. A sold-out choice stays out until it is restocked, and nothing changes on the product page.

Check the matches. Before anything is added, see how every colour and size will appear. Move a shade to another family, rename or hide a family, and say what a set of plain numbers is. Anything AddOnBoss cannot place waits for you.

In-between shades go under both families. A shade between two families, such as a pale yellow that is nearly cream, is listed under Yellow and Beige, so a shopper finds it either way. Check the matches marks each one: keep both, or pick one.

Switching off takes back only what AddOnBoss added. Your own colours and sizes are never changed. How Shop filters works.

AddOnBoss 2.3.2

Side carts show the real price. WooCommerce’s mini-cart, and side carts built on it, showed each line at the product’s bare price, such as 3 × £8.00 above a correct £42.00 subtotal. It now reads 3 × £14.00, the price with its options.

The set preview shows your changes again. In an option set, the preview under the editor follows what you type, before you save, as it did before 2.1.0. Draft and Last saved switch between the two, and nothing is saved by previewing.

Keep the photo in view on Storefront. The photo now holds on Storefront, and on any theme whose product area hides its overflow. A held photo stops above anything placed under it in its own column.

Typed sizes in a narrow column (Pro). On Storefront’s product summary or a phone, each label sits above its own box, so a box and its unit stay on one line. With an incl./excl. VAT switch on the page, the price line under the sizes now changes with it, like the total beside it.

A cleared colour stays cleared in a bundle (Pro). A choice whose colour you cleared shows its name inside a BundleBoss bundle instead of a dot guessed from it. Needs BundleBoss 6.4.0.

AddOnBoss 2.3.1

Clear a colour from a choice. The colour bubble on a choice has a small cross that takes the colour away. The choice stays without one after saving and on the product page, even when its name is a colour such as Red.

Tick boxes keep their size on phones. A tick box beside a long sentence, such as an agreement to terms, no longer shrinks to a small dot.

Page-builder photo sliders. Keep the photo in view now holds the photo on templates with their own slider. In Pro, a picked choice whose photo is not one of the slides shows it in the slide on screen.

AddOnBoss 2.3.0

Sizes open where you pressed (Pro). Pressing a colour or design on the quantity grid opens its sizes in a row right under it on a computer, and in a window from the foot of the screen on a phone, instead of below the whole list. See where the sizes open.

Quantity breaks hold in a bundle (Pro). Twelve polos picked across colours and sizes in a BundleBoss bundle cost what twelve cost on the polo’s own page, and each cell says how many are left in the same words. Needs BundleBoss 6.3.0. See in a BundleBoss bundle.

Prices on choices in a bundle (Pro). A product’s Prices on choices setting holds inside a BundleBoss bundle, so its colour tiles and size cells there show the same figures as on its own page. Needs BundleBoss 6.3.0.

Choices that can’t go together, in a bundle (Pro). A set’s rule reaches a BundleBoss bundle: the clashing choice greys out with the set’s own note, and the basket refuses the pair. Needs BundleBoss 6.3.0. See in a BundleBoss bundle.

The grid’s total matches the basket again (Pro). A quantity break takes its cut off a colour’s or size’s extra charge only when the shop discounts option prices, so twelve sweatshirts in a colour costing £0.40 more no longer read 24p under the basket. The order summary counts only the swatch that is picked.

Photo cards stay one height. In a photo card set, a choice with no photo, such as No base required, keeps an empty frame, so every row of cards is one height. Photo tiles on the quantity grid (Pro) do the same.

Place a test order waits for an order. The first-product guide ticked the step as soon as the block checkout opened. It now waits for an order that is placed, on the block checkout and the classic one.

The rebuild promises only what it will do. Rebuilding a variable product counts only the photos the draft will show, says the product picture follows the choice only where it does, and says stock came across only when a variation held stock. On the free plugin it says how many pairs will cost a different amount. See rebuilding from variations.

Tags under a lapsed licence (Pro). The Option Sets library hides its tags, its tag filter and the bar for ticked sets, and a saved link with a tag no longer hides sets. Your tags are kept. See if Pro lapses.

A name said once. When an option’s note opens with the option’s own name, the name no longer shows twice above a design’s quantity cells (Pro), above the grid’s whole-order choices (Pro), or on the named lines of a set that takes several picks.

The quantity table keeps its marked row tidy (Pro). Under themes that restyle table cells, the marked row keeps its accent bar inside the row and its quantity in line with the heading.

AddOnBoss 2.2.0

A section can ask for at least one answer. Back, Front and Sleeve each stay optional, and a print must still be chosen somewhere. Set the section’s rule to Pick at least one, write the sentence shoppers read when nothing is picked, and the page says it once above the section, with the options named; the basket checks it again. The rule holds inside a BundleBoss bundle too (needs BundleBoss 6.2.0). See a section that needs at least one answer.

Tick-several sets reach a bundle (Pro). A set customers answer with several ticks, such as where a garment is printed, is asked once for the whole BundleBoss bundle, every tick charged and carried to the order. Needs BundleBoss 6.2.0. See a question answered with several ticks.

Follow-ups under each bundle item (Pro). A set shown only after another set on the same product is asked under each bundle item that picks the trigger, and only there. See questions behind a rule.

Charged once works everywhere (Pro). A set marked How this is charged: Once is charged once however many of the product are bought, on every product and not only on a quantity grid. Four panels with one design are charged one design. See choices for the whole order.

An option’s note keeps its formatting. Bold, line breaks, lists and links in an option’s note now show on the page as written. Scripts are still removed.

Faster pages on shops with supplier stock. A product whose options carry stock counts reads them once per page instead of once per choice, so bundle pages and the bundle editor open in a fraction of the time.

AddOnBoss 2.1.0

Products without an option the others share (Pro). In a BundleBoss bundle, a product without an option the others have can take the same answer, stand in with its own options, or go without it, set in one window for the bundle. Needs BundleBoss 6.1.0. See a product that asks different options.

Several included answers (Pro). A bundle can include more than one answer of an option set, such as two prints, and show each one with its own picture.

A grid needs a main choice (Pro). When no main choice has a star, the panel says so at once and how to fix it, and the last star can be taken off. See quantity grid.

A large library opens fast. A shop with hundreds of option sets no longer waits for the bundle editor to open.

The Pro storefront in your language. The words shoppers see on the quantity grid, quantity breaks, uploads, measured sizes and print areas are now translated in every shipped language.

AddOnBoss 2.0.3

StockBoss is now SupplierBoss. The BossMage home screen shows the supplier plugin under its new name. Nothing else changes, and no shop needs to do anything.

AddOnBoss 2.0.2

Picking a colour shows its photo in your own carousel (Pro). On a shop whose product page has its own Swiper photo carousel in place of the standard WooCommerce gallery, picking a colour moves the carousel to that colour’s photo. Before, the photo did not change on such a page. See option photos.

AddOnBoss 2.0.1

Every arrangement works on the quantity grid (Pro). Step by step, Fold as you go, Folding sections and Popular setups now work on a product ordered through the grid. Before, a grid product ignored the arrangement chosen under How this page looks. See how the page looks.

A quantity break charges the price it prints (Pro). Each break price, and each per-item option or print charge the break reaches, is rounded to the penny before it is multiplied, so each times the quantity is the total. Orders inside a percentage break can move by pennies. See quantity discounts.

The page and the basket agree in every tax set-up (Pro). Where prices are entered without tax and shown with it, or the other way round, the page total matches the basket to the penny, and the grid’s Your order box adds up to its total.

AddOnBoss 2.0

Step by step (Pro). One question on the screen at a time, under a row of steps. Continue checks the step before it moves on, the row goes both ways, and a step left with something owed is marked in the row rather than refused at the basket. See step by step.

Fold as you go (Pro). One question open at a time: each answer opens the next question. See how the page looks.

Ready-made setups (Pro). Named starting points above the questions, each with its price, shown to shoppers as Popular setups. Nothing is chosen for the shopper until a setup is pressed, and every answer can still be changed after. Add them under Ready-made setups in Product options.

Three switches for how the page reads (Pro). Under How this page looks: Number every question, Show a review before the button, and Keep the photo in view. All three are off on existing products. See how the page looks.

Folding sections now open by default (Pro). A Folding sections product can open with Everything open, First one open or Everything closed. The default is Everything open, so an existing product opens with every section open after the update. Choose Everything closed to keep it as it was. A section with a required question is always open.

Shoppers see what is left before they buy. An answered question shows a tick beside its name. A line under the total names what is still to choose, with a Show me link. Add to cart pressed too early names every unanswered question, not only the first.

Missing choices in a panel on phones. Turn on Show missing choices in a panel on phones under BossMage → AddOnBoss, and a phone shopper who presses Add to cart too early gets the unanswered questions in a panel over the page. Off by default.

Photo tiles on the quantity grid (Pro). A colour set whose choices all have photos now shows photo tiles on the grid, as the product page already did, unless you chose a tile style for the grid.

Questions in a BundleBoss bundle (Pro). With BundleBoss 6.0, a question from a product’s option sets can be asked once for the whole bundle, or once on each slot. A workwear kit asks each garment its colour and size, then the print once, after the garments. The question keeps its shopper name, its look, its photos and its rules. A charge set to once is taken once. The shop can also include an answer, and then the shopper is not asked. See ask a question once for the whole bundle.

Removing an option that a bundle includes asks first. In a set’s editor, Remove names the bundle that includes the option. Products there that use it are not available until you choose another option in that bundle. A set’s Delete in the library names those bundles too.

The options panel is tidier. You pick the arrangement from pictures under How this page looks, and every setting for the panel sits in one band above the list.

A garment in a bundle is charged the price the page shows (Pro). A bundle showed Black in 3XL at 6.20, and the basket charged 5.89. The basket now works out the price the same way as the product’s own page and the quantity grid.

Artwork in a basket is kept (Pro). An uploaded file was deleted after 48 hours even while its line was still in the basket. A file is now kept while a basket holds it, and abandoned uploads are cleared after 30 days.

The quantity grid stops adding decimals a shop asked it not to show (Pro). A shop set to zero decimals read 1.00 where it had asked for 1.

A size above the largest you make says so (Pro). Typing a size beyond a measured set’s maximum changed it in silence. The field now says it was changed to the largest size.

Width and height sit on one line in a price table (Pro). Typing a width no longer pushes the height and the price down the page.

The count above the options waits for the variation (Pro). On a variable product it read finished while the product’s own Colour or Size was still unchosen.

Express checkout covers more. A product whose only required question is an upload now hides the wallet buttons too. WooPay’s own button and pages built with the product_page shortcode are covered, and the Mollie and Amazon Pay buttons, which were never matched, now step back on products with required options and while any optional answer is chosen. See express checkout.

Editing a basket line says what happened. If the line left the basket while it was being edited, saving adds a new line and now says so, rather than claiming an update. An edit that re-prices a kept choice at today’s price says so too.

Photo card without photos says so. A set drawn as Photo card whose choices have no photos now explains why the shop shows swatches, in the set editor and in Product options.

Themes that restyle form controls. A dropdown field no longer cuts off the bottom of its letters, the keyboard focus shows on every text box, the panel’s own buttons keep a readable colour, and the sticky price bar’s link back to an unanswered question no longer takes the theme’s large button style.

The free build sells a product whose saved arrangement is a Pro one, and keeps the stored choice for when Pro returns.

Measured size sets no longer leave two PHP warnings on the product page.

Every word the free build shows is translated in all nine languages, including 149 that had shown in English since 1.12.0. A word the free build shows can no longer ship without a translation.

AddOnBoss 1.12.4

Shipped 23 September.

The quantity grid’s running total now includes every rush and size charge the moment it changes. It listened only for print positions, so a rush date, a measured size, a look-up table or an upload reached the basket while the figure on the page trailed one pick behind.

Percentage rush charges on the quantity grid now show as money. On a grid page a rush priced as a percentage said its rule instead of a figure, and the running total left it out: two hoodies at 39.99 read 79.98 while the basket charged 97.98. The figure now comes from the product’s own price, the same one the basket takes it from, so the page and the basket agree.

A lapsed plan now says when choices that can’t go together are idle. When your plan no longer covers them, the set editor says your rules are kept but not being applied. Before, it showed nothing at all.

Rush charges say “per item”. Date and time rush labels now read, for example, “+25% per item (minimum £5.00 each)”, which is how they have always been charged, and the settings hints spell it out. The Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese translations cover the new wording, and the time field’s pricing hint, which had been showing in English, is translated too.

AddOnBoss 1.12.3

Shipped 22 September.

Choices that can’t go together now stand down with the licence. Every Pro module stops when the plan does, so a paid build with a lapsed licence behaves like one without the module. This one kept refusing pairs after a lapse. It now stands down like the rest, and your rules stay saved and untouched through every edit, so relicensing enforces them again exactly as written.

The listing stops selling tags as a free feature. Library tags are a Pro feature and the wordpress.org listing described them in the free list. The bullet moved to the Pro list where the feature lives, and the Pro list now also describes choices that can’t go together, which had shipped in 1.11.0 without a mention.

AddOnBoss 1.12.2

Shipped 22 September.

The photo swap now works alongside gallery-replacement sliders. Gallery Slider for WooCommerce removes the standard WooCommerce gallery and rebuilds it as its own carousel, which left the image swap with nothing to change: the click did everything except show the photo. The swap now drives the slider’s own main image, remembers which slide it borrowed so swiping cannot confuse the restore, and keeps the photo ahead of the slider’s lazy loading.

AddOnBoss 1.12.1

Shipped 22 September.

Picking a photographed colour on the quantity grid now changes the product photo. The image-swap setting worked on the one-at-a-time layout and did nothing on the grid: the grid never loaded the script that performs the swap, and a variable product’s colour tiles did not carry their photographs at all. Both are fixed, so the photo follows the open colour on simple and variable products alike.

AddOnBoss 1.12.0

Shipped 20 September.

Rebuild a variable product as one product carrying options. Most shops that want options already have the variations, and rebuilding twenty-five rows by hand is nobody’s idea of an afternoon. Open a variable product and the Product options tab now offers to do it: it reads what you have, says plainly what carries over and what does not, and builds a draft copy beside the original, which is never touched. With Pro, each pair keeps its own price, even a figure no colour step plus size step adds up to. On the free plugin, each choice carries an extra charge instead. When the draft reads right it can take the original’s name and web address, bringing the reviews with it, and the original retires to a draft. Nothing is deleted. See rebuilding from variations.

Rules that show and hide now work in every build. Showing or hiding a set or a field on what a shopper picks or types, with and/or groups and no limit on how many rules, is free from this release. The comparisons that read a number, more than, less than and exactly, stay in Pro, and a rule using one is left alone rather than half applied, so nothing is ever hidden for a reason the build cannot judge. See conditional options.

Smaller things. The opening checklist now counts your own shop, saying how many variable products you have and how many variations they carry between them. A store with no option sets yet can add a field straight away, where before the controls waited behind an empty library. The copy-a-setup panel explains why a product does not match instead of refusing in silence. And a bundle carrying leftover quantity-table settings no longer shows £0.00 with an Add to cart that does nothing.

AddOnBoss 1.11.0

Shipped 18 September.

A set can show shoppers a different name than the one it is filed under. File a set under an internal code, a supplier style number say, so it is easy to find across a large library, and give it a clean label for the product page. The label is what the group heading, the cart and the order say; the set’s own name stays what the library and search go by. Leave the label blank and nothing changes. See the name shoppers read.

Pro also gains a ceiling on how many files one visitor can upload in a short while, counted per customer so shoppers behind one shared connection never share an allowance. Nobody ordering normally will ever meet it.

AddOnBoss 1.10.3

Shipped 11 September.

A bundle no longer offers two ways to buy it. The quantity table is a choice made on a product, and it stayed behind if that product later became a bundle, laying itself over the bundle’s own builder with a second Add button that knew nothing about the picks. A bundle never takes the quantity table now, whatever the product was set to before it became one.

AddOnBoss 1.10.2

Shipped 9 September. Two Pro fixes, both of them things that looked like they were already working.

Rules that stop two choices going together now work on the themes WordPress ships by default. The script that greys out a blocked choice was written into the page itself, where a block theme rewrote a character inside it, and it stopped before it began. Nothing was ever reported, because nothing appeared to be wrong: the choices were simply all still pickable. See Choices that can’t go together.

A date can be taken back. Picking a day that carries a rush charge left no way to change your mind, so an optional question kept its charge until the page was reloaded. There is a cross in the box now, and the Delete key does the same. See Date, with lead time and rush charges.

AddOnBoss 1.10.1

Shipped 7 September. Two figures that read short of what the till would have charged, and the library’s bulk actions.

The quantity table quoted a price nobody could buy. Ten of one colour with a size or colour uplift and a volume band read the band taken off the plain shelf price, so every uplift dropped out of the table, the header figure and the saving nudge together. It now prices the cells the shopper actually filled. Order totals were always right; only the figures read before buying were short.

Every price a script prints now rounds the way the server does. A unit assembled from separate multiplications arrived a fraction under, and the browser printed a penny less than the row the page itself had shown a moment earlier.

A selection of two or more groups in the library did nothing. Delete, Duplicate and Empty each named the whole selection in one string, so the shop looked for a group of that name, found none, and reported success. One group at a time always worked, which is why it went unseen. Deleting a group now asks what should happen to the option sets inside, with the numbers from your own shop, and offers both answers: keep the sets, or delete them with the group.

Smaller but visible. A tag comes off from the chip on the group’s header, rather than by ticking the group and using the bar below. Searching the Attach option set box by a folder’s name keeps that folder’s rows. The date field’s line stops contradicting the calendar beneath it, and an optional date field arrives unanswered again.

AddOnBoss 1.10.0

Shipped 7 September. Two scheduling fields for made-to-order shops, and the name-the-amount field grew up.

A date field that knows how your shop runs (Pro). Set your lead time in working days, an order cut-off hour, the days you are closed and one-off holidays, and every date the calendar offers is one you can meet. The earliest day is free and named beside the box. Rush bands sell the days in front, a percentage of the item price or a flat floor, whichever is more, and shoppers can pick from a calendar or from a plain list of turnarounds with the real date beside each. See Date, with lead time and rush charges.

A time field that offers only slots you can work (Pro). Opening hours, a slot every 5 minutes to 2 hours, and windows that cost more for the busy part of the day. Offer your list of slots or a free clock; either way the page prices the window the chosen time falls in. See Time of day, in slots.

Tags across the Option sets library. Tag groups one at a time or in bulk, filter the library by tag, and rename, recolour, merge or delete your own tags from one dialog. Tags that came from a supplier feed keep themselves up to date. See tags in the library.

“Their price” is now “Name your price”, and it speaks the shopper’s figures. The chips, the minimum and maximum, and the box itself all read the same basis your shop displays, so on a shop showing VAT-inclusive prices, typing 6 pays exactly 6. A shop with a VAT toggle keeps every figure on the field in step, including the one already typed. Bounds now refuse at the field, in the same words the till uses, and the running total never quotes an amount the till would refuse.

Smaller but visible. Every field can carry a description shown to shoppers under it, with a live “Shoppers will see” preview in the editor. Refusals stopped wearing the shop’s brand colour and print beside the rule they broke. A searchable dropdown’s committed answer follows the VAT toggle and is replaceable rather than editable. All nine shipped languages cover every new screen and sentence.

AddOnBoss 1.9.0

Shipped 5 September. The Option Sets screen grew into a library that stays readable at any size.

Sets file into groups, and the page scales. Every group reads as one line: its name, a preview of what is inside, and where it came from. The library starts folded, remembers which groups you keep open, and pages itself at 10 to 100 groups a page. Typing filters the page in place; Enter searches the whole library, by set name, group name or any option inside a set, and a source filter narrows to one supplier’s sets or your own.

Move to and Copy to, with a picker. Both open a search box over every group in the library, so a destination on another page is never out of reach. A copy is a fresh set of your own: a supplier feed keeps refreshing the original it wrote and never touches the copy, and the supplier badge follows that promise.

“Used on N products” opens. The figure on a set is now a door: a dialog lists the products themselves, searchable, twenty at a time, each linking to its own editor, with the whole list one click away on the Products screen. A product in the bin does not count until it is restored, so the figure, the dialog and the Products screen always agree. See where a set is used.

The quantity grid reads the pair’s own price (Pro). A colour surcharge plus a size surcharge is not always the price of that colour in that size; where the supplier’s price list carries the exact pair, the grid now charges it, so the page and the till agree with the price list. One more VAT-arrival race on remembered switcher choices went with it, and all nine shipped languages are complete for every screen.

AddOnBoss 1.8.0 and 1.8.1

Shipped 4 September, both about the quantity grid earning trust.

You decide the grid’s order (Pro). The main choices order by dragging, so Front, Back and Sleeve appear in the order you ask; a whole-order set can sit below a field, so “Ink colour” can follow “Do you want printing?”; and a dearer colourway now says what it costs on its own tile, following your price display setting.

The volume saving covers the printing (1.8.1, Pro). A grid’s volume saving used to be worked out on the garments alone, so a shop selling twenty-two polos with two breast prints showed a bigger saving than the till gave. It now covers the garment and every per-item charge the band applies to. Also fixed: reloaded pages no longer resurrect invisible choices or print figures on the wrong VAT basis for returning shoppers, and options files from older AddOnBoss versions import by what they contain, not by their format’s revision number.

AddOnBoss 1.7.2

Shipped 3 September. Conditional choices work on the quantity grid (Pro): a set that appears once a shopper says they are uploading artwork now reveals on the grid exactly as it does on a one-at-a-time product, and a hidden choice is never charged. A choice priced below the base, like “No print, plain tee”, now shows its reduction on the page instead of only at the till.

AddOnBoss 1.7.0

Shipped 3 September, and it is one thing done properly: garment money. A 1.7.1 followed the same day with one fix worth knowing about: add to cart and artwork uploads now survive your page cache. A product page served from an old cached copy carries an expired security token, and until now the quantity grid’s add and the artwork upload failed on it with a bare error. The page now fetches a fresh token and quietly retries. No setting, nothing to configure.

The exact price for a colour and size together. A colour surcharge plus a size surcharge cannot price a real garment range: going up to 3XL costs £1.10 on a White shirt and £1.41 on a Black one, and no pair of one-way surcharges can say both. A product can now carry the exact price of every colour-and-size pair, written for it from a supplier’s feed by a plugin such as SupplierBoss. The size prices on the page update the moment the colour changes, the total lands on the exact combination, and the cart line prints each choice’s true share. A pairing without its own figure falls back to the normal surcharges, so a choice you add by hand never blocks a sale. Sold-out-per-pair stock has worked this way for a while; prices now get the same treatment.

AddOnBoss 1.6.1

Shipped 3 September.

An Import / Export page under AddOnBoss (Pro). Tick products and download their whole options setup as one file: sets, fields, print areas, quantity breaks and photos travel together. Importing shows a matching table, product by product: land on the matched product, pick another, create a draft, or skip. It replaces the options on the products it lands on; prices and photos on the product itself stay untouched. Works between two sites too, and photos an import cannot map are dropped rather than pointed at the wrong file.

The Dropdown field’s choices are editable. A Dropdown always rendered its choices to shoppers, but the editor offered nowhere to write them; it now has the same name-and-charge rows the Colour field has.

Sizes speak the category’s words. Min, Max, Goes up by and Minimum price replace our invented labels on the measured editor, the price table editor speaks in matrix and band terms, and every hint across the three editors says its one thing in one line. Option sets also export and import from the top of the Option sets page, where they can be found.

AddOnBoss 1.6.0

Shipped 2 September, from a clothing shop’s question: how do I stop print and embroidery being picked on the same breast?

Choices that can’t go together. Inside one multi-pick set, group the choices that exclude each other and customers pick one from each group. A blocked choice greys out and its note says why and the way out: “Doesn’t go with Left Breast Print. Untick it first.” Checkout refuses a conflicting pair with your group’s own name in the sentence, whatever the page posts. A choice like “No printing needed” can be marked picked on its own. Each product can use the set’s rules, switch them off, or carry its own. No other options plugin can act on a single choice inside a set; the category’s conditional logic stops at whole fields. See choices that can’t go together.

One measured rate for the library, another for this product. A measured set keeps its own rate as the default, and a product’s attachment row can price the same set differently. See sell by measured size.

The set editor’s doors say where they lead, and the admin cards fill their page.

Fixed: a rule that hid a filled upload kept the file’s chip, so unticking showed a file the server no longer held and its fee was silently never charged again. And option notes now render on the quantity grid, on grids of any number of attributes.

AddOnBoss 1.5.0

Shipped 2 September. The largest release so far, and most of it came from shops telling us what their products actually need.

Five more field types, fourteen in all, and all of them free. A Colour field with swatches and an optional Custom entry for a shade you have not listed. Their price, where the customer names the amount, for a gift card or a deposit. An E-mail address that spots an obvious slip in the domain and asks “Did you mean …?” rather than rejecting it. A Web address. And a Hidden value the customer never sees, which carries a job code through to whoever makes the item. A dropdown past a couple of dozen choices now becomes a box you can type into, so a long list of thread shades is searched rather than scrolled. See custom fields.

Price adjustments on look-up tables. A trigger adds or deducts a percentage or an amount, once or for each item, on top of the price the grid gave. Rush turnaround, collection in person, mounting. Each adjustment is its own named line in the cart and on the order, so a shopper and the shop see the same reason for the same money. See price tables.

Conditions written as a sentence. Show or hide a field or an option set when other answers say so: is, is not, any of these, has been answered, is empty, and on a number field more than, less than and exactly. Several conditions group, all of one group or any group. A rule whose trigger you delete pauses rather than quietly becoming always true. See conditional options.

The shopper’s design follows the order. The picture of what they configured appears on the cart and checkout blocks, on the order and account screens, in your shop’s emails, and as a badge on the cart line that opens the full image. See cart, checkout & orders.

Express checkout stands down where it cannot work. On a product with required options, the wallet buttons that skip the product page are hidden, because a shopper who taps one buys something you have no instructions to make. A product whose options are all optional keeps them.

The running total follows on a quantity grid too. The slim Grand total bar and its tap-to-open receipt were only ever on the one-at-a-time page. See quantity grid.

You decide whether picking a choice replaces the product photo. On for a set whose photos are the product, like colours. Off for a set whose photos explain the choice, like cutting shapes. See option photos.

AddOnBoss speaks nine languages. Spanish (Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Argentina), Italian, French (France, Canada) and Brazilian Portuguese ship with the plugin. Until this release the plugin declared a text domain and a languages folder and then never asked WordPress to read them, so a shop in any language got English whatever it installed. That is fixed.

Positions are now Print areas, in every word you read. Nothing stored changes and nothing a shopper sees changes.

Copying a setup asks about option sets and fields separately. They were one tick, and taking either took both, writing over whatever the receiving product already had.

Custom size has a name and a place of its own, named after the button a shopper taps, instead of a switch folded inside Advanced options.

Fixed: an option photo is shown whole rather than cropped to the card’s shape; a measured size named by its dimensions no longer prints them twice; and a measured set offering neither ready-made sizes nor a custom size now says so on save instead of leaving a shopper an empty box.

AddOnBoss 1.4.1

Shipped 31 August. The option set editor shows its work: a preview panel under the editor renders the set exactly as a product page will, choices, photos, prices and receipt included, redrawing as you type and before anything is saved.

Fixed: a shop selling in a currency without decimal places, such as SEK, JPY, HUF or ISK, saw option money printed with two decimals it does not use.

AddOnBoss 1.4.0

Shipped 23 August. Quantity break lists: write a ladder of percentage breaks once, name it, and pick it by name on any product. Start from another product: take a configured product’s setup onto the one you are editing. The Grand total began following the shopper down long option pages as a slim bar. Colour and size stock are counted together, so a size the chosen colour has none of is dimmed. See quantity discounts.

Tell us what you need

Send us a note describing what you are trying to sell and where the current tools get in the way. A real example from your shop is worth more than a feature name: “I sell engraved tankards and I need the price to go up with the length of the message” tells us more than “add per-character pricing”.

We read every message, and a good number of them turn into the next thing we build.

How releases work

AddOnBoss updates in place through your plugin updates, the same as any WooCommerce plugin. Each release note lists what changed in plain terms, so you can see what is new without reading a technical changelog.

Shares your set library with BundleBoss

AddOnBoss and BundleBoss share one option-set library, so a set you build in one is available in the other, and a customer’s picks flow through both the same way. Each plugin runs its own engine.
