With three numbers you decide how customers fill in an addition: is a choice required, how many options can they pick, and can they pick the same option more than once? For example: 'Choose 1 sauce', 'Pick up to 3 toppings' or 'Choose 5 scoops of ice cream'.
What do min, max and multimax mean?
Minimum amount: the number of options a customer must choose in total. Fill in 0 when the addition is optional. Fill in 1 or more when a choice is required.
Maximum amount: the number of options a customer can choose in total, all options together.
Multimax: how many times a customer can choose the same option. With a multimax of 3, a customer can choose 'Extra cheese' up to 3 times.
Good to know: The maximum amount counts all choices together, so it should be at least as high as the multimax. With a multimax of 3, set the maximum amount to 3 or more.
