Selection Blocks: Quantity Selection

WHAT IS QUANTITY SELECTION?

Quantity selection is a type of selection that allows the customer to choose an item multiple times.

Situations that can apply to this kind of selection include:
  1. Combos / deals / meals with multiple mandatory selection: 2 drinks, 2 sides, etc.
  2. Toppings
  3. Upsells/upgrades: extras, add-ons, extra toppings, sauces, etc.

EXAMPLE

Item: 6 NUGGETS
Quantity selection block: "Choose 2 sauces"
The rule for block: customer can choose a maximum of 2 sauces.


HOW TO BUILD A QUANTITY SELECTION

1. Create an invisible section called "NUMBERS FOR QUANTITY".



2. Create number items "0", "1", "2" as many as needed.
 

Each created item must have a unique coupon code. 
3. For a mandatory selection and a maximum of 2 choices, create an invisible section with a relevant name, e.g. "SAUCES QUANTITY 2":



This section will include the sauce options available for choice.
The name is set as "QUANTITY 2" to make clear that this section contains items that can be selected for a maximum of 2 times.
4. Create the variant items that will be available for choice.



5. Create a selection block within the items.
  1. Make the title of the selection block empty by selecting the whole name and pressing the "space" button on your keyboard.
  2. Have the "Multiple Choices" box checked.
  3. Keep the minimum and maximum to be set as 0/1. (minimum=0, maximum 1).
  4. Pull the number items we created within the 'Numbers for Quantity' block via "Existing item as a Choice". Always include the item number 0.

6. If the quantity selection belongs to mandatory items, we need to choose a default. In the above example, we choose 2 as default as there must be 2 sauces selected. If there's no mandatory selection involved, a default should not be chosen.
7. Then we need to create the same block within the other items in this section.
8. In case of a mandatory quantity selection, repeat step 5 except selecting a default option, as only one default can be chosen.
9. The final configuration for the options will look like this:



8. Then we need to create a corresponding section and relevant item.



9. Within the item, create the relevant selection block.
  1. Put in the title.
  2. Check "Multiple Choices"
  3. Pull the items created in the corresponding invisible section  via "Existing item as a Choice".
  4. The minimum and maximum choices are always the same number as the number of choices available. (for example, in a selection block with 6 choices, the minimum and maximum should be set as 6/6.)
  5. Check "QUANTITY SELECTION". If this selection block belongs to an upsell, check 'UPSELL?' as well.
  6. All choices need to be selected with a tick.
