Checkbox Field

The Checkbox field allows customers to select one or more additional options on your product pages. It’s perfect for offering add-ons, extras, upgrades, or any supplementary choices where customers can select multiple items independently.

Why Use a Checkbox Field?

Multiple Selections: Customers can choose one, several, or all available options
Add-On Flexibility: Perfect for optional extras and upgrades
Independent Choices: Each option can be selected without affecting others
Transparent Pricing: Each option clearly shows its individual cost
Revenue Optimization: Increase order value through strategic add-ons

WPActPro makes it easy to build flexible product options and control how each field influences pricing, validation, and the final order. You can pair the Checkbox Field with other field types to create a complete customization experience.

For numeric input such as quantities or measurements, try our Number Field
When you want customers to choose a single option, use our Select Field
For situations where multiple selections are needed, the Multiselect Field is the best choice.
For text-based inputs like names or engraving details, use our Text Field
And when paragraph-style input is required, try our Textarea Field

Price Type

1. Fixed

This is perfect for add-ons with set prices:

How it works: Each checkbox option has a fixed price that gets added to the product when selected.
Example:
- If you offer additional services:
  - Extended Warranty: Fixed price of $15
  - Gift Wrapping: Fixed price of $5
  - Express Processing: Fixed price of $20
When a customer selects “Extended Warranty” and “Gift Wrapping”, $20 ($15 + $5) will be added to the base price.

2. Percentage of Product Price

How it works: Each checkbox option adds a percentage of the product’s base price.

Example:
- If you offer service upgrades:
  - Insurance Coverage: 3% of product price
  - Premium Support: 8% of product price
  - Priority Handling: 5% of product price
For a $200 product, selecting both “Insurance Coverage” and “Premium Support” adds $22 ($6 + $16) to the price.
