When the Box Product is selected, a tab appears on the side menu titled Build a Box. Open the tab to see the settings and options of the Box product.
Box Quantity
Here, you need to enter the number of products in the box. For example, if you enter 15 here, the customer will have to add 15 products in the box in order to proceed.
Subscription Renewal Type:
Select the frequency of billing. For example, if you choose Daily here, the box will be subscribed and billed on a daily basis and the items will be delivered daily.
Products:
Here, choose the Products that will be shown on the frontend on the Make-Your-Own-Box page. For example, if you are creating a Fruit Box product, you should choose relevant products here that the customer can choose and add to his box.
Product Categories:
Here, you can choose Product categories. If a category is chosen, all products in that category will be shown on the front end of the Shop page. The customer will be able to select products from that category and create his own box.
Default Products:
Here, you can choose Default Products, which are actually products that are added to the cart when the customer doesn’t want to customize his own box. If the customer doesn’t want to create his own custom box, he can use an option on the top of the mini-cart that says “Add All”. When “Add All” is clicked, the Default Products chosen here by the admin will be added in the mini-cart. The admin can even choose the quantity of a particular product and click the Add to Default Products button.

Membership Overview
