One of our shopify client sells bathtub products. Most of the bathtub products have more than 3 options
We know that using shopify app, we can list as much as options in the store
Question is Does the default shopify store has the feature to list more than 3 option in a store?
Please advise
Hi there,
Nick here from Shopify.
Good question. It is only possible for a product in Shopify to have 3 variant options natively. As you mentioned also, to have more than 3 variant options for a product you would need the help of a third party app from the Shopify app store. Shopify has a very helpful guide going through all of this in detail which you can find here.
Cheers, Nick
Thanks Nick. Very helpful to us
Does shopify provide bundle and grouped products apps too? Please explain
And one of our client would like to list accessories products in the already listed products. Any solution
Hi there,
Great to hear the information above was useful. Regarding your new question. There are some product bundle apps in the Shopify App store which you might find can work for you here. Let’s look at them below:
Hopefully one of the apps above does what you need it to do.
Can you explain a little further what you mean by “would like to list accessories products in the already listed products.” I’m not sure exactly what you mean here.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
All the best, Nick
Hi Nick,
When we tried to install “Infinite Options app” for listing adding more than three option for a prduct, please review answer from one of shopify officer
"The Infinite Options app is ok, but it will only create options on the product.“What this means is that these aren’t separate varients within Shopify and therefore the prices and individual stock levels of the configurations can’t be adjusted. The best solution I could offer would be an alternative app called Product Options by Bold this still has the same restriction in terms of the stock levels, but it does allow you to charge more dependant on the options selected.”
If we use Product Options by Bold app, can we bulk import more more than 3 product options for a product?
or
Should we create options manuvally in the app and map into the proudct? Please advise
Awaiting your reply
Awaiting your help
Hi Intellect Outsource,
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
I looked into this for you and saw that you can have more than three options should you wish, but they can also be dynamic. For example, you can have tick boxes, radio buttons, and file uploads. You can see exactly how diverse the app is from the video on the app page here and you can see the app itself with all of its options here.
Regarding whether you should import or create the options manually, from what I see it would probably be best to do it manually within the app, I’m not entirely sure you could even import options in, but that might be a good question for the Bold team specifically (support@boldapps.zendesk.com). Personally, though, I would do it manually as some of the options are so customized and could require specific attention.
I hope that helps and answers your question. Don’t hesitate to reach out again should you have any others.
All the best, Nick
Thanks Nick. If we process manually, this is very time consuming
Why Shopify not wide their option arrangment 3 to 6
Because most of the furniture, bath tup type of product has more than 3 options and accesfories
Shopify default import is the fine solution to upload product very friendly into store. Once we try with new app, we does not feel much not confirtable with app and clients really diffappointed.
Ok. Thanks for your support. If any new easist technology launched by shopify regarding this subject, please us know. Thanks
Hi Intellect Outsource,
Thank you for your feedback and suggestion here regarding increasing the option arrangement. I will be sure to pass this along to the team for future consideration. on your behalf. I can see how it would benefit and impact your store/ business. I can understand your reservations working with a third party such as app developer but I can say the BOLD team is very good and reliable in terms of this app.
Thanks again for getting back and letting me know.
All the best, Nick
Hi Nick. I totally agree with Intellect_Outs1 .
Two years have passed since this post publication, but there’re still only three options available natively in Shopify. We’re using Shopify API a lot in our store and it’s imposible for us to add more than three options using API… Reduces our performance a lot.
I hope it will be fixed. Thanks.
Hi there,
I totally agree with mashkovtsev, it is necessary for Shopify to have more than 3 options for variants. Also, that it can be loaded from API, manual loading of products is not a good option when 30k products must be imported.
If we install infinite options, can we use bulk import feature to upload infinite options?
We need more than three options. I am selling computers and would like my customer to select between Color, processor, Capacity, RAM, Graphic card for the same computer model!!!
Can we bump this case and get an answer from shopify?
Is it even being discussed by shopify?
According to Shopify, we can list only 3 options. As we are product data entry service provider for shopify store, we have used many app for our clients. But used apps are complicated
We suggest to use the APP " Product Options By Bold". But here we not able to process bulk import
We can create product option set with multiple options and link with multiple products. There is no limit for options and we can design options like swatches, buttons, text areas, date pickers, and more. We can assign prices and additional charges to required variations.
If more products have the same options, we can easily use one options set and link it to many parent product
Drawback: We can’t create option set using Bulk Import
Shopify team, we definitely need more than 3 options. This will be a game changer for so many store owners & will prevent owners from switching to other platforms.
Please create the ability to have more than 3 options natively.
Thank you.

We would also like to request more than 3 options. Our client needs 4. We’ve spent hours looking at apps, but none of them can track inventory and that’s the main feature we need. We’re migrating from Squarespace to Shopify because in general Shopify is better for e-commerce, but Squarespace allows way more than 3 options (with inventory) and that’s an advantage it has on Shopify.
Bump… increase to 6. Why is there even a limit? Some of the choices that are made at Shopify are questionable.
Because they want you to use their app developers 
Still shopify supporting team not support yet regarding this subject. It means they would like to continue with 3 options
Almost 5 years later and there is still no option to have more than 3 variants..? Why is this such a big problem? anyone found a way to increase this in the hard code or something? There must be a possibility to do this as the app that fix this are able to do this.. Please give me some more info as I don’t like the apps provided
