How do I add checkboxes to a Shopify product?
Checkboxes are the multi-select picker: customer picks zero, one, or many. Perfect for add-ons like gift wrap, extended warranty, rush delivery, multi-side prints. Install Print It My Way (Free plan), add a Checkbox or Checkbox group field, label each with its own upcharge. Each selected checkbox becomes a separate cart-line fee.
Step-by-step setup
- Install Print It My Way (Free). No credit card.
- Open product > Print It My Way tab. Click 'Add field' > 'Checkbox' (single) or 'Checkbox group' (multi).
- Add options + labels + prices. Each checkbox can add its own fee.
- Test on storefront. Multiple selections stack as separate cart lines.
When to use checkboxes
Use single checkboxes for yes/no add-ons:
- "Add gift wrap (+$5)"
- "Include extended warranty (+$15)"
- "Rush delivery to 3 days (+$10)"
Use checkbox groups for multi-select:
- "Which print positions?" [ ] Front (+$8) [ ] Back (+$8) [ ] Sleeve (+$5)
- "Additional accessories" [ ] Case [ ] Charger [ ] Stand
Setup steps
Step 1: Install Print It My Way.
Step 2: Product > Print It My Way tab > New personalizer > Add field > Checkbox or Checkbox group.
Step 3: Label the field ("Add-ons"). For each option, set label + upcharge (Gift wrap +$5, Extended warranty +$15).
Step 4: For checkbox groups, set min/max selections if needed (e.g., pick 2-3 print positions).
Step 5: Attach to product. Save. Test.
