- Assemble Before Shipping (+$20)" — Perfect for furniture, bikes, or complex items where users pay for convenience.
- Opt-out of Plastic Packaging (-$1.00)" — Great for eco-friendly stores using your negative price feature to reward users.
- Make it a subscription" style single toggle.

## How to Use

1. Open **Optiontics → Add-ons** and edit (or create) an add-on form.
2. Drag the **Switch** block onto the canvas.
3. Select the block to open its settings on the right.
4. Set the single **choice**:
   - **Label** — text shown beside the toggle.
   - **Price** — amount added when the switch is **on** (negative to subtract).
   - **Price type** — **Fixed** or **Percentage** of the base price.
   - **Default** — start the switch on if checked.
5. Adjust the settings (below).
6. **Save**, assign to a product, and preview.

### Settings & Customizations

- **Title** / **Hide title** / **Description**.
- **Required** — switch must be on before add to cart.
- **Quantity** *(optional)* — enable a quantity input; set **Min** and **Max**.
- **Show sale price** — show the discounted price when set.

## FAQ

**Q1: Does it support multiple options?**
A: No — Switch is a single on/off choice. Use Checkbox or Button Group for lists.
**Q2**: **When is the price added?**
A: Only when the switch is on.
**Q3: Can I start it turned on?**
A: Yes — mark the choice as **Default**.
**Q4: Can the upgrade reduce the price?**
A: Yes — enter a negative amount.

## Conclusion

The Switch is the simplest selection field: one toggle, one price. Reach for it whenever a product needs a single yes/no upgrade rather than a list of choices.
