Price Type

1. Fixed

Perfect for options with predetermined prices:

How it works: Each multiselect option has a fixed price that gets added to the product when selected.
Example:
- If you offer software add-ons:
  - Advanced Analytics: Fixed price of $29
  - API Access: Fixed price of $49
  - Premium Support: Fixed price of $19
  - Custom Branding: Fixed price of $39
When a customer selects “Advanced Analytics”, “API Access”, and “Premium Support”, $97 ($29 + $49 + $19) will be added to the base price.

2. Percentage of Product Price

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

Example:
- If you offer service levels:
  - Basic Support: 5% of product price
  - Priority Support: 12% of product price
  - Premium Support: 20% of product price
  - VIP Support: 30% of product price
For a $500 product, selecting “Priority Support” and “Premium Support” adds $160 ($60 + $100) to the price.
