Goal: add paid customization options (e.g., upgrades) to products that increase price without creating additional variants, to avoid inventory/maintenance complexity.
Context: Products are built to order. Example: a +$25 joystick upgrade on items that already have 5 color variants would double variants to 10; adding a button upgrade would push to 20, which is impractical.
Clarification requested by Shopify: what the customer flow should look like, whether customizations differ per product, and the min/max number of customizations. Screenshots or example links were requested to assess alternatives.
Feature request: merchant asked how to submit a request for native support for priced options that are not variants.
Proposed workaround: a third‑party app (Easify Product Options) can add non-variant options (e.g., checkbox) with extra prices and apply option sets to selected products, no coding required. The reply includes a brief setup walkthrough.
Status: no confirmation of a native Shopify feature. Discussion remains open pending more details from the merchant; third‑party app serves as an immediate solution. Note: screenshots are included and central to the app walkthrough.
Hello - I assume someone will reply stating something like this can be done with an app or editing code. BUT I need to check to see.
I would like to add options and append dollar amounts for those options.
So - do you want to upgrade part ABC? - yes select upgrade and add $20 etc.
I don’t want a variant for every option that is just too much to maintain and not feasible.
Any ideas?
Is there a way to open a feature request for this?
Thanks
Thank you for reaching out about this and sharing your request here. I would like to understand a bit more about what you are trying to create on your store. Are you able to share a more detailed flow and how you want this to look to the customer?
If you can share a link to an example product or a screenshot of one that would be very helpful.
Are the customization requests different for every product? (Ex: Color, size, material)
How many customizations would you want to have listed (min/max)?
As much information as you can share about the end result and the customer flow will be very helpful in my offering some alternate solutions for you.
Hello Shay - thanks for your reply - all my items are built to order - currently - I want to add options to my product listings - not variants. If I want to offer a joystick upgrade, then I want to have a simple option for them to select - +$25 Joystick upgrade - and the total price increases by $25. Currently if I have 5 product variations - lets, say 5 different colors - I would need to now have a total of 10 product variations ( adding 5 more to include the joystick upgrade for each color ) - that is overkill and that is only if I added one option. If I want to add another option - say - a button upgrade - then I would need to add 10 more variations - 1 to include the button upgrade and the normal joystick and 1 to include the button upgrade and the upgrade joystick for each color - now you are are talking about maintaining inventory for 20 products. I hope this is clear - we need a simple solution that will just allow a customer to customize their order with the appropriate option adding the dollar amount for that option to the total - can we submit this as a new feature request?
Thanks
Mike
Hi @retrogameboyz ,
I have a straightforward solution to recommend, and the best part is, no coding is required. You can achieve your upgrade options seamlessly by using the Easify Product Options app. This allows you to create your upgrade choices within the app and integrate them into your product without the necessity of creating product variants.
Here’s a quick walkthrough of how to accomplish this 
:
If you have more upgrade options to include, simply add them as needed.
After configuring your options, select the products to which you’d like to apply these upgrades:
This app is incredibly user-friendly and requires no coding expertise, give it a try 
!
