WooCommerce Order Builder | Combo Products & Extra Options

The WooCommerce Order Builder | Combo Products & Extra Options is a versatile WordPress plugin designed to help store owners create interactive "product builders."1 It is particularly effective for businesses that sell customizable kits, such as meal kits, gift boxes, custom PC builds, or subscription bundles.2

Unlike standard product pages, this plugin provides a step-by-step or modular interface where customers can "build" their own combo by selecting from various items and adding extra features.3

## Core Features

Combo Product Creation: Allows you to group multiple products into a single "Master Product" where customers can pick and choose components.

Extra Product Options: Adds custom fields like checkboxes, dropdowns, and text inputs for personalization (e.g., "Add a gift note" or "Select custom color").4

Flexible Pricing Models:

Fixed Price: The total price remains the same regardless of what is selected.5

Per-Item Pricing: The total price updates dynamically as customers add or remove components.6

Product Type Support: Works seamlessly with both Simple and Variable products.7

Responsive UI: The builder is optimized for mobile devices, ensuring a smooth experience for users on smartphones.8

## Use Cases

Implementation

Letting users select CPU, RAM, and Storage options in one flow.

Subscription Services

## Pro vs. GPL Versions

This plugin is widely available under GPL (General Public License) through various third-party marketplaces.9

Official Marketplace: Usually sold with a 1-year support/update license.

GPL Sites: Often sold for a much lower one-time fee (e.g., $3–$10), offering the full Pro features but with limited or no direct developer support.10

## Key Technical Advantages

Inventory Sync: When a "Combo" is sold, the plugin automatically deducts stock from the individual products included in that combo.

No Coding Required: The interface uses a drag-and-drop or simple selection menu to build the order forms.

SEO Friendly: The structured layout is designed to be easily readable by search engine crawlers.11

### Comparison with Alternatives

If you are considering this plugin, you might also look at YITH Composite Products or WooCommerce Product Bundles. The "Order Builder" stands out for its specific focus on a visual multi-step builder interface, whereas other plugins often focus on simple lists on the product page.
