Installation

Optionline is free and listed on WordPress.org, so you can install it straight from your dashboard.

Install the plugin

1. Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active. Optionline won't activate without it.
2. Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin and search for Optionline.
3. Click Install Now on "Optionline – Product Add-Ons & Extra Options for WooCommerce", then Activate.

If you have the zip file instead, use Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin, choose the file, then Install Now and Activate.

Nothing changes in your shop yet: Optionline only shows the options you add to products.

Add your first option

1. Go to Products and edit a simple or variable product.
2. In the Product data box, open the Options tab.
3. Click Add field.
4. Type a Label, for example "Engraving", and choose a Type: text, text area, dropdown, radio buttons or checkboxes.
5. For a text field, enter a Price if it costs extra. For a dropdown, radio buttons or checkboxes, add the Choices and a price for each.
6. Click Update (or Publish) to save the product.

Now open the product in a private browser window. The option is in the add-to-cart form, above the button, with a live total underneath when anything costs extra.

What's next
