  • false - does not multiply the price but instead adds the basePrice value to the item.

Boolean

scaleFactor

If scalePrice is true, the item price is multiplied by this factor.

Number

displayMode

Determines the modifier type. Values are:

  • PREFIX - specifies a premodifier. This means the name of this premodifier is displayed as a prefix before the name of the modifier. For example, if the modifier is named Bacon and the premodifer is named ADD, the full display will be ADD Bacon.

  • SUFFIX - specifies a postmodifier. This means the name of this premodifier is displayed as a suffix after the name of the modifier. For example, if the modifier is named Bacon and the postmodifer is named ON SIDE, the full display will be Bacon ON SIDE.
