Product Configurator
Set up step-by-step product builders that let storefront customers customize cakes, cupcakes, and more.
Product Configurator
- Create step-by-step customization flows for cakes, cupcakes, and other products
- Set up single-select, multi-select, text input, and image upload options
- Add price modifiers to each customization option (e.g., +£5 for fondant covering)
What is the Product Configurator?
The Product Configurator lets you build guided customization experiences for your customers. Instead of a simple "Add to Cart" button, customers can click Customize and walk through a wizard that lets them choose size, flavors, toppings, add inscriptions, upload reference photos, and more. Each choice can add to the final price.
For example, a customer ordering a custom birthday cake might:
- Select cake size (Small, Medium, Large)
- Choose flavor (Vanilla, Chocolate, Lemon)
- Pick frosting type (Buttercream, Fondant — fondant adds £5)
- Add toppings (Sprinkles, Fresh berries, Edible flowers)
- Enter a custom inscription
- Upload a reference photo
The final price automatically includes the base product price plus all selected modifiers.

Add Configuration Steps
Once your configurator is created, you'll add steps in order. Customers will see these steps one at a time in the storefront wizard.
Step 1: Add a Step
- Click Add Step
- Give the step a name (e.g., "Choose Your Size")
- Select the step type from the dropdown:
- Single Select — customer picks one option (e.g., size)
- Multi-Select — customer can pick multiple options (e.g., toppings)
- Text Input — customer types text (e.g., inscription)
- Image Upload — customer uploads a file (e.g., reference photo)
Step 2: Add Options (for Select Steps)
For Single Select and Multi-Select steps, add the available choices:
- Click Add Option
- Enter the Option Name (e.g., "Small", "Medium", "Large")
- Optional: Enter a Price Modifier (e.g., +£5 for a larger size, or leave blank for no extra cost)
- Click Save Option
- Repeat for each option in this step
Step 3: Configure Text and Upload Steps
For Text Input steps (like inscriptions):
- Set a character limit if needed
- Add placeholder text (e.g., "Enter up to 50 characters")
- Optionally set a price modifier (e.g., +£2 for personalization)
For Image Upload steps (like reference photos):
- Set the maximum file size allowed
- Specify accepted file types (JPG, PNG, etc.)
- Optionally set a price modifier
Arrange and Edit Steps

- Click Edit to change a step's name or options
- Click Delete to remove a step
Link to Storefront Products
Once your configurator is saved, it's automatically linked to products of the matching type. When customers view those products on your storefront, they'll see a Customize button. Clicking it launches your configurator wizard.
