1. Introduction The document is a User Guide for extension Dynamic Product Options created for Magento2 websites. It describes the extension functionality and provides some tips for a quick start. The purpose of the Dynamic Product Options extension for Magento 2 (https://www.itoris.com/magento-2- custom-options.html) is to allow to create complex option-based products. You can also design product options the way you need it. By defaults Magento 2 allows creating only one option per row. With Dynamic Product Options you can create multiple options in the same row making a table of options. What is more, now you can configure options for different store views separately and translate options or change prices for your stores. The extension offers different form styles which can be displayed directly on the product view. Also you can associate options to other products, thus creating a bundle offer. Using Dynamic Product Options you can create dependent fields, when one option depends on other option. Now each option may have its own price, thus for options having individual quantity you can set up the tier prices. The extension provides additional tools for advanced use. Moreover, you can add your custom CSS styles and JavaScript associated with the options. Dynamic Product Options extension is the ultimate solution to manage products' custom options in Magento2. 2.
