Pre-select options on an item

Pre-select an option so it's already checked when a guest adds the item to their cart. Guests can still uncheck it if they don't want it. This is handy for defaults like regular ice on a drink, standard toppings, or default packaging and condiments.


In the Owner Dashboard

  1. Click Menu in the left-hand navigation.

  2. Click the Option Groups tab at the top of the page.

  3. Click the option group that contains the option you want to pre-select.

  4. Scroll down to the Options section.

  5. Find the option you want to pre-select and check the Preselect box next to it.

  6. Click Save Option Group at the top.

ℹ️ Note: A pre-selected option appears already checked in the guest's cart. They can leave it selected or uncheck it before completing their order.


Good to know

  • Pre-selected options work best for optional add-ons using the Multiple display type.

  • If an option is in a required Single display type group, pre-selecting it makes it the default choice.

  • A pre-selected option that has a cost adds to the item price unless the guest unchecks it.

  • You can pre-select multiple options in the same option group.
