Nesting Modifiers

Modifiers can be nested in two levels. This feature is particularly useful for items like pizza, salad, or similar products where customers first select a size and then add toppings, with prices adjusting based on the selected size.

• POS and Online Ordering: Nesting Modifiers work seamlessly for both POS users and end customers ordering online through Selflane’s website or apps.
• Third-Party Platform Compatibility: Note that nested modifiers are not recommended if you plan to sync the same menu with third-party platforms, as most cannot handle nested modifiers. For more information about third-party integration, please refer to our Chowly Integration.
