    2. When setting up an Add-On, it is important to think about what display type you will be mapping to inside of Control. For example, if the Control variable is a checkbox, you will want to setup a checkbox on Ecommerce.

A required Add-On will display to the customer as a Configurable Product on the Store, and they will not be able to add it to their basket until all requirement are selected.
