When configurable options display on the order pages, it would be nice by default if we could setup a description of each option to appear along side that option when ordering a product. You can do this for product custom fields, but not when setting up configurable options.

Are there any existing platforms or plugins that successfully implement this feature for configurable options, and how do they manage the display of descriptions?

I totally agree – having descriptions for configurable options would be really helpful for customers to understand each choice better while ordering. It would streamline the process and make things much clearer, just like with product custom fields. Maybe this is something that could be implemented in future updates? In the meantime, if anyone has a workaround for displaying descriptions with configurable options, I'd love to hear it! http://www.sprunkiplay.com/

Would love to see this as well. We've added it via JavaScript, but that means the text isn't easily editable within WHMCS :(

Any chance you can provide a sample of this code? I don't mind editing through Javascript.
Websavers commented 1 month ago
Unfortunately the JS is rather complex to include here as it displays the description only when selected :/ I'll see if I can turn this into a module or hook code!

This is a very important feature, it should be options like custom fields.

Any update on the "planned" status of this request?

We have accepted this request and moved it into the planning stage, however it would be possible even today to add descriptions with a relatively simple template edit.

Could you elaborate?

How do you suggest making this happen?

As a billing tool, WHMCS is excellent. As a sales tool ... well, it leaves a little to be desired. Upselling is important to business and configurable options can help do that. I agree that descriptive configurable options would be a +.
