# Options

Options also called Modifers can directly be called the customizations available to the items. These can be used as variants (where a particular size, base etc.) for an item or as add-ons to an item.

Considering the example of pizza again, an item called *Margherita Pizza* can have an option group called *Size* which further can hold various selections like Personal and Medium, from where you can select any one of them. In addition, *Margherita Pizza* can also have another option group called *Toppings*, which has offerings like *Tomato*, Veg Kebab, Sweet Corn etc. from which you have the liberty to choose any number of them or not choose any of them at all. All of these selections are called options.

In the above, however, there is a notable difference in both the set of selections. While one of either Small, Medium or Large has to be selected, the other set under Toppings has no such restrictions. The first set is therefore referred to as **variants** and the latter is known as **add-ons**. Recall from the previous section, we had discussed another important function that the option group facilitates. The option group determines whether the options inside it would behave as variants or add-ons based on the number of selections permitted.
