Modifier Builds

Tags

Subtract Price on Modifier Replacement - When this setting is enabled, the price of the modifier is subtracted from the modifier build price when it is replaced with a variant.

Add to Parent When Assigned to a Modifier Build - When this setting is enabled for a tag, and the tag is added to a modifier build, then the tag is automatically added to the parent item (modifier) for child-item pricing rule evaluation when the modifier build is applied to a product.

Calculate the price of an item based on the applied product tags from the Order Object. This allows for tag-based, child-item pricing rules that are defined for modifiers and their variants to be applied to the parent item.

Optionally update the modifier build price when a build modifier is replaced with one of its variants.
