    About my needs
    Online retailer where I sell products that I make in house. These are anodised then coloured to whatever people want. I needed a swatch with a multiple selection ability so if people want six extra colours they can have it and if they want one extra it’s no bother. The cost of these extra’s needed to be added. If I did this without this plugin I would have to have six lines of swatches or worse the dreaded drop-downs. Also would need about 1000 product permutations in the back end.

    YayExtra

    This fits the bill perfect. I had to upgrade to pro but it’s cheap and I tested the free out before hand for an hour to see how it went. So I now have three swatches. Two ‘single option’ swatches for base colour and first free colour. Then I have an 8 colour swatch where people can add whatever they want. As they add it adds a sub-total of the extras and updates the full cost price. There is conditional logic for this so it makes it do whatever I want. Perfect.
    As a bonus I even added a notes section. Then my customers can add a description of what they want and other things. I’m also thinking of adding an image upload too incase they want me to use that as inspiration. All can be done through this.

    Why it’s good

    Saves me having to set up infinite variations and have a few plugins when one will do. Literally saves so much time and effort.

    Improvements
    They could improve the ease at which you upgrade from free to pro. I’ve notified them of this but it’s clunky. In the free plugin it says add your license key to this field but there’s no field. Turns out you download the pro plugin and upload it as a zip. Then it has that field.

    Support
    So far so good. he above issue they responded too and also an issue where the sub-totals and totals were interfering with the ‘add quantity’ button and numerical selector. They logged in and sorted that within 20 mins.

    So all in all it’s doing what I want and you can’t ask for more. I’ve only had it two days but if the support stays as it is now I’m not even worried if any thing happens.

    Keep up the good work Yaycommerce!
