Nesting Modifiers

Nested modifiers are useful for flows like:

  • choose size

  • then choose toppings

  • then apply tiered add-on pricing

  • Works for POS and Selflane online ordering.

  • Not recommended for third-party sync where nested modifiers may be unsupported.

  • For integration details, see Chowly Integration.

Sorting Modifiers

Use drag-and-drop to reorder modifiers when alphabetical sort is disabled.

Best Practices

  • Keep modifier names customer-friendly.
  • Use required selection only when truly needed.
  • Limit deep nesting to avoid slowing checkout.
  • Test modifier behavior in POS and online before publishing.
