How pricing appears in cart
Paid options are charged cleanly and transparently: the product keeps its normal price, the extras appear as their own clearly labeled charge, and everything adds up correctly from cart to checkout to order. Here’s what your customers see.
What the customer sees
A cart line with add-ons becomes two lines:
- The original product, at its normal catalog price.
- An “Add-ons” line, priced at the sum of the add-ons the customer selected, less any included free selections.
The product’s price stays honest (it matches the price tag), and the extra appears as a clearly labeled Add-ons charge. The options the customer chose (Gift wrap, Engraving text, and so on) show as line-item properties on the original product line.
How much of this is visible in the cart depends on your theme — some themes show the Add-ons component line, others fold it into the total. Either way, the math is correct, and both lines are always visible at checkout and on the order in your admin.
Quantity and removal
The Add-ons charge is tied to its product line:
- Increase the product quantity and the add-on scales with it.
- Remove the product from the cart and its Add-ons line goes too.
Checkout, orders, and emails
At checkout and on the resulting order, both lines appear, with the selected options listed as properties on the product line. Shopify’s default order confirmation email lists both lines too, but not the selected options — to include them (and optionally hide the Add-ons line), follow Notification emails.

Always accurate
The price each customer pays is calculated by OptionWise the moment they add to cart — straight from your saved option set, never from anything in the browser. That means totals are correct every time and can’t be tampered with.
