Variants that don't impact overall quantity/ item sets

[KatieFancyBee]

I'm looking for an app that allows me to enter items with multiple variants that don't impact that overall quantity or that each variant doesn't require me to enter a quantity. For example, I sell bows & shirts as a set, so I would enter "shirt and bow set" or "shirt only" or "bow only" and those three options would all have different prices and quantities but then a customer could choose shirt size, bow size, bow attachment that don't impact the price or quantity of the 3 variants- so there's different types of bows and shirt sizes but I only have enough ribbon to make 6 bows so I don't want to have to enter a quantity for small shirt + nylon bow, small shirt + clip bow, because I'd constantly be having to update the inventory to reflect what I still have.

I'm used to Etsy and Square where I enter my item "shirt + bow" with the quantity and then the customer is able to choose size options, customizations, bow types that don't impact the overall quantity or that don't require quantity to be entered at all- so I need a Shopify integration app that allows me to do that without entering quantity for the "options" is there any recommendations for this integration?

if you make "shirt + bow" a variant does that solve the problem? vs having shirt as a variant and bow as a variant

Hi Bryan- thanks for the response! Unfortunately, it doesn't because I do offer all 3 options to purchase and I would still have to put in inventory for small shirt + bow, medium shirt + bow, etc. and ideally I'd be able to list all of the shirt sizes I offer or bow styles available just as a option that doesn't impact the overall quantity of the inventory. Hopefully that makes sense!

Hi @KatieFancyBee,

You might want to give the Easify Product Options app a try! It allows you to add custom options to your products without affecting or complicating the actual inventory of the main product 🤗.

Share more details about your products with me, or you can reach out to the Easify team for specific setup guidance.

Hi Mark- I looked into Easify but I'm struggling with the "coding" kind of aspect of Shopify in general to be honest, so I definitely need some guidance on Easify to see if it will work! Basically let's say I sell "shirt + bow" "shirt only" and "bow only" I want to be able to enter a quantity & individual prices for those 3 variants and then let customers choose shirt size, bow style, bow size, etc as simply options that I don't have to enter a quantity for! Does that make sense? thank you for your help!
