Price Type

1. Fixed

This is perfect for options with set prices:

How it works: Each option has a fixed price that gets added to the product when selected.
Example:
- If you offer different package tiers:
  - Basic Package: Fixed price of $10
  - Premium Package: Fixed price of $25
  - Ultimate Package: Fixed price of $50
When a customer selects “Premium Package”, $25 will be added to the base price.

2. Percentage of Product Price

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

Example:
- If you offer different service levels:
  - Standard Service: 5% of product price
  - Priority Service: 15% of product price
  - VIP Service: 25% of product price
For a $100 product, selecting “Priority Service” adds $15 to the price.
