I own an antique / home decor store with literally thousands of individual and unique items. Is there a way to customize an “Antique” product so I can change the details with every sale without doing a custom sale everytime?
Topic summary
A merchant operating an antique/home decor store seeks a way to customize product details for each individual sale in Shopify POS, rather than creating thousands of unique product entries or using custom sales repeatedly.
Current Limitation:
- Shopify POS does not natively support per-sale customization of product attributes
- The built-in workaround is the custom sale feature, which must be used for each transaction
Suggested Solutions:
- Variable Priced Product app: Recommended as potentially better than repeated custom sales for handling unique items
- POSify: Customize POS Products app: Specifically designed to add customizations to products/variants during POS transactions, avoiding multiple custom sale entries
The discussion remains open with app-based workarounds offered, though no native platform solution exists for this use case.
To actually answer your question:
No, Shopify POS doesn’t allow products where you can customize the
product’s attributes on a per-sale basis. The best you can do at this time
is a custom sale.
Thanks for your help. I have not used the POS in a year, and I hoped they had made changes to make it more customizable during a sale. Thanks again.
Hey ToddH
The one suggestion I have would be to check out the app Variable Priced product (here). It is sometimes a better option for these situations than just the custom sale feature.
Hi @ToddH,
I’ve created an app that allows users to add customisations to products and variants when selling with POS. It was created so merchants didn’t have to run through multiple custom sales for the same product, so it sounds like it could be perfect for your requirements!
Feel free to trial it and let me know if it helps 
Here it is on the Shopify app store: POSify: Customize POS Products
All the best,
Joe
