How to setup Modifiers?

Step-by-step process

Modifiers are a powerful feature in the SalesPlay POS system that allow businesses to offer extra customization for products. They are commonly used in restaurants, cafés, and retail outlets to provide additional options such as toppings, fillings, or add-ons. With modifiers, you can let customers personalize their orders (e.g., adding extra cheese to a pizza or extra syrup in a coffee).

This guide explains what modifiers are, how to create and attach them in the Back Office, and how to use them on the POS App. It also covers advanced features such as modifier quantity increase and ordering modifier groups.

 

What are Modifiers?

Modifiers are additional items or options that can be linked to products. They are also known as Add-ons, Toppings, or Fillings.

For example:

  • In a pizza shop, modifiers could be cheese, mayonnaise, olives, or extra sauce.
  • In a coffee shop, modifiers could be extra sugar, caramel syrup, or whipped cream.
  • In a burger shop, modifiers could be lettuce, tomato, or double cheese.

Tip: Modifiers must first be set up in the Back Office before they can be used in the POS App.

 

Creating Modifiers (Back-office Side)

To set up modifiers for your products, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to SalesPlay POS Back Office Web Portal.
  2. Select Products from the main menu.
  3. Go to the Modifiers
  4. Click Create Modifier.
  5. Enter the Modifier Group Name (e.g., Cheese, Sauces, Toppings).
  6. Enter the Modifier Name (e.g., Cheddar Cheese, Tomato Sauce).
  7. Add the Cost Price and Selling Price if required.
  8. Click Add New if you want to add more modifiers under the same group.
  9. Once done, click Save.
  10. Click Attach to assign the modifier group to a Product or a Category.
  11. Tick the items you want to apply the modifier to.
  12. Click Save again to finalize.

After saving, modifiers will be automatically synced and available in the POS App.

Example:
You create a modifier group called "Cheese". Under it, you add "Cheddar" and "Mozzarella". Then, you attach it to Pizza category. Now, every pizza order in the POS App will allow customers to choose their preferred cheese.

Using Modifiers in POS App

Once modifiers are set up, you can apply them to products during billing.

Steps in the POS App:

  1. Open the POS App and go to New Sale.
  2. Select the product (e.g., Pizza).
  3. A popup will appear with available Modifiers.
  4. Choose the modifiers the customer wants (e.g., Extra Cheese, Garlic Sauce).
  5. You can also increase or decrease modifier quantity if allowed.
  6. Click Add.
  7. Finally, click Charge to complete the sale.

Example:
A customer orders a burger with double lettuce and extra mayonnaise. You select Burger → choose modifiers → tap lettuce twice to increase quantity → add mayonnaise → click Add.

 

Modifier Quantity Increase

Modern customers love flexibility, and sometimes they want more than just one portion of a modifier. The Modifier Quantity Increase feature lets you adjust how much of a modifier is added.

Example:

  • A customer wants extra cheese on their pizza. You simply increase the cheese modifier from 1 to 2.
  • A burger order with double lettuce can be handled by increasing the lettuce modifier.

How it Works

  1. In the POS App, select the product in the cart.
  2. Tap the modifiers listed (e.g., Cheese, Lettuce).
  3. Use the “+” or “-” buttons to increase or decrease the quantity.
  4. Confirm and save before checkout.

 

Ordering Modifier Groups (Change Display Order)

Sometimes you may want modifier groups to appear in a specific order to make billing easier (e.g., show Sauces before Cheese). SalesPlay POS allows you to rearrange how modifiers are displayed.

Steps to Change Modifier Group Order

  1. Log in to SalesPlay Back Office.
  2. Go to Products → Modifiers.
  3. Click the 3-dot button next to the modifier group.
  4. Select Change Order.
  5. Use the Drag and Drop (burger icon) to move the group where you want it.
  6. Click Save.

Example:
If you run a pizza shop, you may want Cheese options to appear first, Sauces second, and Meats third.

Ordering Modifiers within a Group (Change Display Order)

Just like modifier groups, you can also control the order of modifiers inside a group.

Steps to Change Modifier Order

  1. Go to Back Office → Products → Modifiers.
  2. Click Edit next to the modifier group.
  3. Use the Drag and Drop (burger icon) to rearrange modifiers.
  4. Click Save.

Example:
In the Sauces group, you can list Tomato Sauce first, Mayonnaise second, and BBQ Sauce third.

Special Notes

Modifiers for Variant Products

If your product has variants (e.g., Pizza Small, Pizza Medium, Pizza Large), modifiers can also be applied.

Note: To apply modifiers to variants, you may need to edit the modifier group in the Back Office and re-attach it to the variant product.

Example:
Attach Cheese Modifiers to Pizza Small, Pizza Medium, and Pizza Large separately if required.
