Basic understanding of Additional Option

Additional option is an extra selection only showing up on personalization form, and does not add any layer to the artwork design.

You can use Additional option to:

• * Add a question to personalized form

• Add an extra level of options

For example: You want your customers to choose Hair color before Hairstyle. So you can use an additional option to choose hair color first, then the hairstyle option will show up based on the color selected.

Add Additional Option to your Design

STEP 1. Create an Additional Option category

• Go to Assets ➡ Additional Option ➡ Click on the button New Category

• Enter the name for option category, then click + Create button

• Start creating new option by entering name of the first option in Item name ➡ click +Add new to confirm and save this new option

• Create all options in this category. Drag and drop to re-order the options.

Display methods of additional option

There are 3 ways to display additional options on personalization form:

Step 2: Set up clipart categories

• Go to Clipart Categories page ➡ click on + New category, and name it as Hair - by color
• In Hair - by color category, create 3 sub-categories subsequent as: Black, Blond and Red

• In each sub-category of hair color, create another level of sub-categories for hairstyles, such as Bun, Shoulder length, and Long length.

Then, upload cliparts for each hairstyle sub-category:

Step 3: Set up multi-level selection for layer in artwork editor

3.2: Add condition for Hair layer to create multi-level selection

• Upload a hair layer and name it after the color of hair. For example: Hair - Black:

For Blond hair layer:

For Red hair layer:

• Now, choose a hairstyle that you want to display as first load on storefront. Since your hairstyles are added condition, so you need to enable Show this layer on first load for a hairstyle. Or else, hair won't show on storefront.
