Add a Variant with Additional Pricing on Product page

Topic summary

A user seeks to add a “Shorten Straps” customization option to a dress product with three length choices (1, 2, or 3 inches), where selecting any option adds $10 to the base price across all sizes.

Proposed Solutions:

  • Native Shopify Variants: Add “Shorten Straps” as a third variant option and manually set prices ($100 without, $110 with shortening). However, Shopify’s 3-variant limit may be restrictive if Size and Color are already in use.

  • Product Customization Apps: Multiple respondents recommend apps like Infinite Options, Product Options by HulkApps, or Easify Product Options. These allow adding the customization as an add-on charge without consuming variant slots.

One respondent provided screenshots demonstrating Easify Product Options configured with the exact pricing logic requested, showing both the customer-facing result and backend settings. This approach appears more flexible and avoids variant limitations.

Hi,

How can we add a new variant option for a dress to include a “Shorten Straps” selection?

For example, the available Shorten Straps options would be:

  1. 1 inch
  2. 2 inches
  3. 3 inches

Here’s how the pricing should work:

If a customer selects Size XS without choosing a Shorten Straps option, the price remains $100.

If a customer selects Size XS and chooses any Shorten Straps option (1 inch, 2 inches, or 3 inches), an additional $10 charge applies, making the total $110.

The same pricing logic applies to all sizes.

What would be the best way to implement this variant structure in an Shopify platform?

hi @azieaziz14

You can also include the Shorten Straps option as a product variation or install a product customization Shopify app.

Apply two approaches:

Option 1: Shopify Variants (ideal for simplicity)
Shopify Admin > Products > select the dress product.
Select Variants section and click Add variant.
Replace “Shorten Straps” with Option Name and add the options (1 inch, 2 inches, 3 inches).
price the short strap versions at $110, while keeping the usual version (shortening not provided) at $100.
Limits: Shopify only allows up to a 3 variant limit per product. If you already use Color and Size, you might hit your 3 variant limit.

Option 2: Utilizing a Product Customization App (Most Suitable for Flexibility)
If you prefer a neater solution without having to physically touch your variant number, you can use the following application:

Infinite Choices Variant Option Product Options by HulkApps These add-ons allow you to charge more for shortening straps as an add-on instead of viewing them as other versions.
