Variable Quantity and Optional Products

Explains how pricing table rows can be configured to allow recipient-controlled quantities and optional product selection.

Updated today

Variable Quantity and Optional Products let you make pricing tables interactive by allowing recipients to adjust quantities or choose whether specific products are included before signing.

These settings are applied at the product row level and affect how totals are calculated in real time.


What Variable Quantity is

Variable Quantity allows recipients to increase or decrease the number of units for a product directly in the document.

It is designed for pricing models where quantity can vary per deal, such as licenses, seats, hours, or usage-based services.


What Optional Products are

Optional Products allow recipients to include or exclude specific product rows from the pricing total.

Optional rows are displayed with a selectable checkbox and are excluded from the total unless selected by the recipient.


Where these settings apply

Both Variable Quantity and Optional Product settings apply to individual product rows inside a pricing table.

They do not affect:

  • Product data in the Product Library

  • Pricing group configuration

  • Discounts or tax logic

Each row can be configured independently.


Quantity limits and defaults

When Variable Quantity is enabled, you can define:

  • A default quantity

  • A minimum quantity

  • A maximum quantity

These limits control what recipients can select and ensure quantities stay within allowed boundaries.


Combining Variable Quantity and Optional Products

A product row can use both settings at the same time.

This allows recipients to:

  • Choose whether to include the product

  • Adjust the quantity if the product is selected

Totals and summaries update automatically based on the recipient’s selections.


Pricing behavior and calculations

Recipients cannot change unit prices.

When quantities change or optional products are selected:

  • Unit prices remain fixed

  • Amounts are recalculated automatically

  • Pricing summaries update in real time

All pricing logic remains controlled by the editor.


Recipient experience

Recipients can interact with:

  • Quantity selectors for adjustable products

  • Checkboxes for optional products

They cannot edit prices, discounts, or configuration settings.


Previewing and validation

Use Preview mode to see the document exactly as recipients will experience it.

Preview shows:

  • Quantity controls

  • Optional product selection

  • Updated totals and summaries


Best practices

Use Variable Quantity for products priced by seats, licenses, hours, or usage.

Use Optional Products for add-ons, upsells, or non-mandatory services.

Combine both settings to create flexible bundles while keeping pricing controlled.
