ShapeOption adds extra fields to your WooCommerce product pages — text boxes, dropdowns, swatches, file uploads, calculations and more. Any field or choice can carry a price, the total updates live as shoppers choose, and every choice travels with the order through cart, checkout, the order screen and emails.

How it works
Everything starts with an option group: a set of fields you build once and show on as many products as you like.

Key words used in these guides
| Word | What it means |
|---|---|
| Option group | A named set of fields, such as “Gift options” or “Jersey printing”. One product can show several groups. |
| Field | One question in a group: a text box, a dropdown, a swatch set, an upload and so on. |
| Choice | One answer of a choice field (select, radio, checkbox group, swatches). Each choice has a label, a value and an optional price. |
| Field key | A short ID such as gift_wrap, made from the label. Rules, formulas and developers refer to fields by key. |
| Show on rule | Decides which products display the group: all products, chosen products, categories, tags and more. |
| Placement | Where on the product page the group renders. |
Free and Pro
ShapeOption comes in two plugins. ShapeOptions FREE is the free plugin from WordPress.org. ShapeOption for WooCommerce PRO is the complete premium plugin: it includes everything in the free version plus advanced fields, pricing, conditional logic, shipping and role rules, page builders and analytics.
