Can we offer packaging options at checkout on Shopify?

[PPCUser]

We sell 100's of products based on weight. 

The options are Small and Large

Small is 1/10 the size of large.

We would like to know if we could have an option during the checkout when a customer buys multiples of the small of the same product

We could have a questions asking do you want these individual packaged or shipped in one package with options of providing incentives such a s a savings if sold in one package.

Is this already built into Shopify?

Hi @PPCUser 

I totally get what you're trying to do, and it makes a lot of sense—offering customers the choice between individual or bulk packaging with a possible incentive at checkout. Let me break this down for you.

Is this built into Shopify?

Short answer: No, Shopify does not have a built-in feature to allow customers to choose packaging options at checkout by default. However, you can set this up with a workaround.

How to Set It Up?

There are a couple of ways to achieve this, depending on how flexible you want the solution to be:

Option 1: Using Line Item Properties (Best for Simplicity)

Line item properties let customers add extra choices when they add a product to their cart—this is the best way to ask them whether they want individual or bulk packaging.

Here’s how to do it:

1-Edit your product template to include a simple dropdown or radio button for packaging options.

2-Add this code to your product page’s product.liquid or main-product.liquid file:

<label>Packaging Option:</label>

<select name="properties[Packaging Option]">

    <option value="Individual Packaging">Individual Packaging</option>

    <option value="Bulk Packaging (Save 10%)">Bulk Packaging (Save 10%)</option>

</select>

3-This will store the customer’s choice with the order and show up in the order details for fulfillment.

Option 2: Use a Shopify App

If you want a more automated way to offer packaging choices only when customers order multiples of the same small product, an app would be the best way. Check out these:

• Infinite Options (by ShopPad) – Lets you create custom options for packaging choices.
• Dynamic Checkout Options – Allows custom upsell/checkout choices.
• Bundle Builder – If you want more flexibility with bulk discounts.

Option 3: Draft Order API (Advanced)

If you're comfortable with code or have a developer, you can use Shopify's Draft Order API to dynamically modify orders based on packaging choices and apply discounts.

Final Thoughts

If you just need a simple solution, line item properties are the easiest and cheapest way to go. If you want automation, an app would be better. Shopify doesn’t support this natively at checkout, but with the right tweaks, you can get exactly what you need!

Hope that helps! If you need extra help, just let me know asap. Thanks
