Product options, paid and free

Stock WooCommerce has no product options
Stores often sell products with add-ons: engraving, gift wrapping, an extra service. Without option fields the customer cannot provide that information, and the store cannot charge for it.
- ✗ No fields for extra product options
- ✗ No way to charge for an add-on
- ✗ Manually arranging add-ons by contacting the customer
- ✗ No lightweight path to options without a heavy admin surface
Aldono adds priced product options
- ✓ Seven field types: text, textarea, number, date, checkbox, select and radio
- ✓ Each option can be paid or free
- ✓ The price adjusts automatically to the chosen options
- ✓ Customer choices visible in the cart and the order
What you get in the free version
Everything you need to sell products with extra options.
Field types
Seven types: text, textarea, number, date (the browser's native date picker), checkbox, select and radio, defined per product in the Add-Ons tab.
Text limits
Text and textarea fields can have minimum and maximum character lengths, with a live counter and server-side validation.
Paid and free options
Each option, and each select or radio choice on its own, can have an extra price or be free, added to the product price.
Field validation
Required fields are checked before adding to cart. A number must be numeric, a date a real date, and a select or radio one of its own choices, each with a clear message.
Price adjustment
The cart and order line price reflects the chosen paid options.
Visible in the order
Customer choices are saved on the cart line and in the order, visible to the store.
Per-product definitions
You set options separately for each product in the WooCommerce product data panel.

What PRO adds, and why it matters
Conditional logic
Show or hide product options depending on the customer's earlier choices in the product data panel.
Front-end hiding
Inactive options are hidden on the product page and their inputs disabled.
Server-side validation
Required fields on inactive conditional options are skipped when adding to cart.
File uploads
A file field with size limits, allowed extensions, cart validation and order item metadata.
Quantity-based options
A separate add-on quantity multiplies the selected option price, with min/max limits and cart/order metadata.
Swatches
Colour or label swatches instead of a plain select list.
Per-option inventory
Stock limits for individual add-ons, with sold-out hiding and order-complete deduction.
