MuRu Product Add-Ons 1.0.0 Released: Gift Wrap, Engraving, Paid Options for EasyStore and More

MuRu Product Add-Ons lets an EasyStore shop sell the extras customers ask for with a product: gift wrap, a bigger box, an engraved name, a message card. You add fields to your product pages, the buyer fills them in, and each priced choice is charged as its own line in EasyStore's cart. EasyStore's own tax, coupons, checkout and payment handle the money, and nothing in your template or EasyStore is edited.

Why Product Add-ons

EasyStore has variants: a colour or a size, each with its own stock and price. That is the right tool when every combination is a different item on the shelf. It is the wrong tool for "add gift wrap", "engrave this name" or "put it in the large box": those are choices on top of the product, often typed by the buyer, and they should not multiply your variants. WooCommerce shops solve this with a product add-ons extension. MuRu Product Add-Ons brings the same idea to EasyStore.

On the Product Page

You set up groups of fields in the plugin settings and give each group to the products it belongs to. The free edition has four field types: a checkbox (yes or no), a dropdown, radio buttons and short text. Each field has a label, an optional help line and placeholder, a price, and can be required. Short text has a length limit and a live character counter.

The fields appear above EasyStore's own Add to cart button, in the template's own form style and the colours of the labels around them. A line under them shows what the choices add, so the buyer sees the extra cost before pressing the button.

Charged Through EasyStore's Own Cart

This is the part that matters most for a shop owner. Each priced choice is added to the cart as its own line: "Gift wrap", "Box: Large", "Engraving". Because they are real cart lines, EasyStore does everything it does for any product: it adds tax, applies coupons, and puts them on the order, the invoice and the payment. The add-on never changes a product's price or a cart total behind EasyStore's back.

Checked on the Server

The page helps the buyer: a required field left empty or a text that is too long stops the add and says what to fix, right next to the field. But the page is never trusted. Every choice is checked again on the server when it reaches the cart, the prices come from your settings and never from the browser, and a product with a required add-on cannot be added to the cart, or ordered, without it.

At Checkout and on the Order

EasyStore's checkout summary lists the choices and the add-on lines, and its totals include them. When the order is placed, the choices are saved with it, and both order confirmation emails, the buyer's and the shop's, list them under the product.

What Pro Adds

Pro is a separate add-on that installs on top of the free one and switches on once you enter your license key.

If a Pro license ends, the free limits apply again and your shop keeps working. Every field and group you saved stays saved and comes back when the license is active again.

Built So Updates Do Not Remove It

It is its own plugin with its own files, tables and settings. It adds no template overrides and never edits EasyStore's files, so an update of either does not replace or remove it. If an EasyStore update ever changes the product page in a way the add-on does not recognise, the fields hide themselves and a product with required add-ons is refused with a message, so nothing is sold without its choices.

Good to Know

• EasyStore keeps one cart line per product and variant, so a product carries one set of choices in a cart. Adding it again with other choices replaces them.
• The quick-add window on product lists has no fields. A product with required add-ons asks the buyer to open its product page.
• For a product with variants, EasyStore's own order page and invoice show the variant name on the product's line; the priced choices are still listed on their own add-on lines.
