# Option groups

> What customers choose when ordering, such as the combo, the doneness or the sauces. Created once and used by as many products as you like.

In **Menu**, the **Options** tab holds the business's option groups: "Combo", "Doneness", "Sauces"… Each group is created once and added to the products that offer it. If you change it, it changes in all of them.

**Who can:** everyone sees them. The owner, the admins and anyone with a [custom role](/en/guia/roles) that has "Product catalog: Edit" change them.

## Create a group

1. In **Options**, tap **New group**.
2. Enter the **Group name**: customers see it above the options.
3. Choose how many options are chosen:
   - **Required, choose 1**: customers must choose one to add the product.
   - **Optional**: they may choose none, or up to as many as you set in **Up to**.
   - **Another rule**: a **Minimum** and a **Maximum** of different options. "Choose 2 sauces" asks for two different sauces.
4. Enter the options, one per row: the name, how much it **Adds to price** and **Up to** how many of it can be ordered (1 to 20). **Another option** adds a row; empty ones aren't saved.
5. Tap **Create group**.

Then add it to its products from each one's page: under **Option groups**, check it and order it with the arrows. That's the order customers see them in.

## An option's price

It's what it adds to the product's price: `1,000`, or `-2,000` for "No fries". Zero shows as "no charge". Don't write "+" in the name: the menu shows it on its own. If a dish would come to less than $ 0, it's charged $ 0.

## Change a group

Tap **Edit** in its row:

- Change the name or the rule and tap **Save**.
- Each option is saved on its own: change its name, its price or its maximum and tap **Save** in that row. The up and down arrows change the order.
- **Add an option** adds one at the end.
- Archiving an option takes it out of the group; archived ones are listed separately, under **Archived**, with **Reactivate**.

Below, you see the products that offer the group.

## Archive a group

**Archive** stops offering it, and you can reactivate it. While an active product offers it, it can't be archived: take it off the product first, from the product's page.

## What each message means

| Message                                                    | What happened and what to do                                                                         |

| That rule doesn't fit the options                          | The minimum can't exceed the maximum or the number of active options. Lower the rule or add options. |
| Choose a rule                                              | The maximum must be 1 or more, and the minimum can't exceed it.                                      |

| That group already has the maximum number of options (50)  | Archive one you don't use.                                                                           |
| You reached the business's maximum number of option groups | A business has up to 500 groups, counting archived ones.                                             |
