Nested Modifiers

Nested modifiers allow you to display additional modifier groups only when a customer selects a specific option. This keeps your menu clean and guides customers through complex customisation flows.

How It Works

When a customer selects a modifier option that has nested modifiers attached, additional modifier groups appear below. If they change their selection, the nested groups update accordingly. Example: Build Your Burger

Customer sees “Choose your patty” with options: Beef, Chicken, Veggie
Customer selects “Beef”
A new modifier group appears: “How would you like it cooked?” with options: Rare, Medium, Well Done
If customer changes to “Veggie”, the cooking preference disappears (not applicable)

Common Use Cases

Scenario	Parent Modifier	Nested Modifier
Burger cooking preference	Patty type (Beef/Chicken/Veggie)	Cooking preference (only for Beef)
Pizza size extras	Size (Small/Medium/Large)	Extra toppings (different options per size)
Drink customisation	Drink type (Coffee/Tea/Smoothie)	Milk options (only for Coffee/Tea)
Meal deals	Main course selection	Side options specific to that main

Supported Integrations

Nested modifiers are supported when syncing menus from:

Deliverect
Stream
Zonal Aztec

Nested modifiers are configured in your POS or menu management system and sync automatically to storekit. They cannot be created directly in the storekit dashboard.

Customer Experience

Nested modifiers provide a cleaner checkout experience:

Customers only see relevant options based on their selections
Reduces overwhelm from too many choices at once
Guides customers through logical customisation steps
Prevents invalid combinations (e.g., cooking preference for a veggie burger)

How Selections Are Handled

When a parent modifier selection changes:

Any nested modifier groups for the previous selection are hidden
Selections in those hidden groups are cleared
New nested modifier groups for the current selection appear
Required nested modifiers must be completed before checkout

If a nested modifier group is required, customers must complete it before adding the item to their basket. Make sure your menu structure accounts for this.
