PPOM – Product Addons & Custom Fields for WooCommerce

PPOM (Personalized Product Option Manager) is a long-running WooCommerce add-ons plugin, now developed by Themeisle. It adds custom input fields to product pages so shoppers can personalise an item or pick paid extras, and it adds the cost of those choices to the cart line. Fields are organised into groups that can be attached to individual products or to whole categories.

The free plugin on WordPress.org includes nine input types: text, textarea, select, radio, checkbox, date, email, number and hidden. Select, radio and checkbox options can carry their own price, entered either as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the product price, and there is a one-time fee option for charges that should not multiply with quantity. A price table under the fields shows the option total and overall total as choices change. Free also includes display conditions between fields, input masks, role-based field visibility, category-wide groups, the ability to restrict a group to selected variations, and WPML/Polylang compatibility.

PPOM Pro adds more than 30 input types across three plans. The Essential plan unlocks file uploads with an image cropper, image and colour option pickers, font pickers, a personalisation preview, date ranges with time, measure inputs for area-based pricing, text counters with per-character charges, price matrices for quantity discounts, extra conditional operators, tag-based assignment, multiple groups per product and import/export. Plus adds cart editing, a field repeater, field pop-ups and quantity packs, and VIP adds a domain checker and variation quantity matrix.

Strengths

• One of the largest selections of input types in this category.
• Percentage pricing and a live price table are available without paying.
• Specialist inputs such as price matrices, measurements and personalisation previews.

Limitations

• Cart editing and repeaters require the Plus plan, not the entry plan.
• The plugin declares itself incompatible with the WooCommerce Cart and Checkout blocks, so stores on block checkout must switch to the classic shortcode checkout.
• Renewals are at the full list price after a heavily discounted first year.

PPOM fits stores selling personalised or made-to-order goods that need many specialised input types, and that run, or are happy to run, the classic WooCommerce cart and checkout.
