Add a product add-on (at extra cost) at checkout

Hi, I am looking to add a button or option to the checkout, where customers can add a gift bag for an extra cost to their cart. I've been experimenting and decided that using the variant option is not ideal as it causes an error message, which could put off customers from buying. Instead I would like to let customers choose at checkout whether they would like the product to be sent to them with a gift bag. Any ideas (including coding as it seems there is not squarespace solution for this at the moment) would be greatly appreciated.

You cannot add any features, buttons, addons or code to the checkout on Squarespace.

There may be some options that we can suggest, but not on the checkout page , other than having a checkbox in a Custom Checkout Form. This is because the checkout page is locked down to prevent any code or modifications other than a basic form.

Can you provide some more details, including a working link to the site? Note that if your site isn't live, we will only be able to view it if you set a site password and tell us what it is.

Thanks, the link to the site is www.ingridrossi.com. I was thinking alternatively to have a button on each product page to add a gift bag to the cart. Appreciate the help!

Here's an example product with a variant called Gift Bag.

When our Variant Pricing extension is installed, customers won't see an error if they add the item to the cart without selecting the gift bag option.

The first option is 'No Gift Bag' and is silently selected by default for the user. If they click Add to Cart without touching the variant dropdown, the no gift bag option will be selected for them automatically. If they want the gift bag, they can choose this option before adding it to the cart. 

The screen capture below shows a user adding the item to their cart without selecting a variant . They then add the item again, but this time they select gift bag first.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm looking for this as well but I need the additional item to not be tied to the individual products as the added gift wrap item is for the whole order, not just one item. 

I came up with a solution!!! Not as good as a pop up, but will work for now. 

This works on the product page,  you do have to add it to every page, but you could use filters and customize per product if you want. Not perfect, but it works pretty well. 

I created all the add ons as products. They are all in a collection. 

In the "additional information" section, I used a summary block and chose the collection. I used a grid option and reduced the size and spacing. I added quick view which made it simple for them to use as an add on! (can show price, I didn't).

Hi Paul2009, How do I contact you to discuss some enhancements to my site.

@jessone no more summary blocks in the checkout custom form. Squarespace doesn't want us making money

Great solution and thanks so much for sharing! 😉

@paul2009 I purchased the Variant Pricing extension that you mentioned above and have tried installing it to my clients site. She runs a custom embroidery business and needs to charge an extra $20 for a logo setup fee if it is their first order with her. When installing the extension though, it is adding $20 per item if they are ordering 5 shirts, so instead of it being $35 x 5 shirts + $20 fee it is $55 x 5 shirts. I can't seem it figure out how to install the extension the way I am needing it. Are you able to help at all?
Thanks in advance

Hi Indiah. We had a private chat about your requirements, and I believe you need some custom code to achieve your requirements that is very similar to this post. I'll post something to you when I get a few minutes.

@paul2009I own a custom card business. I need a way to create a place where clients can enter what they want customized on a envelope. Its 5 dollars extra if I do this and I need to be able to charge the extra money. so I am wondering if it is possible to add a section to write something and still charge money for it

Are you selling them on another platform at the moment such as Etsy? If so, can you provide a link so that I can take a look?

@paul2009thanks for the reply. No I'm not on Etsy or any other platforms. My site on square space will be my first business site

Thanks for sharing this. It worked for me.

Did this add-on for additional cost get resolved in 7.1? If I want to "add a card" to a product that only has a quantity of 1 to start, it makes a new sku and if they choose the card as an add on, it doesn't deplete the inventory on the original art.

I ended up adding as a form after clicking buy now but want to charge for this add-on and can't do it in the form.

@paul2009 Hi Paul, I can’t seem to see what the solution was for adding a once off design fee on a product. So example: 

3 prints $30 + $5 design fee =$40 

Thank you!
 

Also is there a way to add an upload button to a product? I managed to add one to my contact us form but I tried adding it to the product the same way with no success.

Things have improved since this thread started in 2020. There is now an Add-on Product feature. 

Add-on Products are existing products from your store that display as an optional extra purchase when users view another Product Detail Page.

@paul2009 Hi Paul, That works perfectly, thank you! 
I have tried to add a form with a text area & file upload to products but nothing shows up. Do you have a solution for this?

You can add a Text Area field to a Custom Product Form. If this isn't working, please provide a link to the the product so that we can help you troubleshoot this.

Squarespace doesn't have a feature that allows you to add file uploads to product forms yet. 

Is there a way to setup something like this ADD NOW section? I have a membership and would like to potentially offer an upsell option at checkout for an additional resource that may further help them. 

I believe the attached pic was of a salespage hosted in Kajabi.

This Kajabi page cannot be reproduced on Squarespace in connection with memberships as the checkout page is completely locked down.

It is possible to have a high-performing checkout with upsell if you use a third party checkout tool like ThriveCart (affiliate link) but, to use it, you'd need to push sales through their platform and not Squarespace. This wouldn't work if you need it for memberships built on Member Sites.

I know this isn't the answer you wanted, but I hope it helps.
