# Product options

Produktoptionen sind eine mächtige Möglichkeit, mit welcher Sie Ihren Kunden Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten anbieten können. Produktoptionen können in mehreren Produkten verwendet werden und können direkt die [Moduleinstellungen](/hosting/products/manage-products.md#module) des Produktes überschreiben. Dadurch können Sie z.B. VPS-Konfiguratoren etc. festlegen.

## Gruppierung

Produktoptionen können der Übersicht halber gruppiert werden. Diese Gruppierung ist für den Endkunden nicht sichtbar.

## Create product option

You can create product options with minimal properties. After creation, you will be automatically redirected to the editing view, where you can fully configure the product option.

{% hint style="info" %}
As long as the product option has not been explicitly assigned to a product, it is not visible to the end customer.
{% endhint %}

## Edit product option

### General settings

Give the product option a name that will be displayed to the end customer during the ordering process. You can also customize the product option with various properties.

### Different types

#### Text

The customer has a text input. Define the minimum and maximum length.

We can make this product option to be validated as a URL. If the given value is not a URl, awarning is shown to the customer:

Similarly, we can make the field value to validate to a certain Regex pattern which you define:

Product options of text type can also be defined to display as a textarea with a certain number of lines defined by you, as you can see below:<br>

#### Number, Slider

The customer has a number field. Define the minimum and maximum number as well as the increments. You can define a price and setup price per unit and the calculation and display with additional settings.

#### Checkbox, Radio, Dropdown

You can create multiple options and delete them again. Each option has a display name and API value. The latter is transferred to the module as a technical value. (e.g., display: 1 GB DDR5 RAM, API value: 1024)
