Find Out More About WooCommerce Product Add-Ons

WooCommerce Product Add-Ons is a product configurator which allows your customers to personalize their products by adding input boxes, dropdowns, file uploads or checkboxes.

Moreover, you can use the add-ons as a product designer and you can apply it to different products of your customers. For example, you can only have an add-on for a wide range of products, not for black shoes only.

Furthermore, as a product designer, it does not have support for conditional logic. If you want your customers to fill out different fields based on information they fill out, we recommend that you use the powerful Gravity Forms plugin to create forms with conditional logic. Then you link those forms to your WooCommerce products with the Gravity Forms Product Add-Ons extension.
