Hi all! Im having trouble finding a solution to how I would like inventory to be adjusted for a couple of my products.
Lets say that for a product, I have 10 pieces. The dimensions of the product are adjustable, but only I can adjust them, the customer cannot do this themselves.
I want the customer to tell me what size they want. When one customer does so, my inventory count goes down to 9.
As of now, I am seeing that my only option is to set sizes, and how many I have for each size. But this doesn’t work for my product. I only have a total number of product, without sizes. I can only size them when the customer orders.
How can I give this option on the product page? I do not want them to do this on the checkout page.
Right now I am thinking that I could have a small text box on the product page where they write their size? Or, it would be ideal if I could give size options, then set a total number of inventory, instead of inventory per size. I am open to other options too.

Shopify has no concept of inventory pooling.
If the options do not change the price, or affect things like SKU, then your idea of using an input box works and is very common using line-item-properties.
I’ve got a simple solution for the issue you’re facing.
Rather than dealing with the hassle of creating individual size options with specific quantities, consider using the Easify Product Options app (it’s free!). This way, you can effortlessly manage your product quantities without being tied to specific sizes .
Here’s a quick guide on how to go about it:
Create your product and set its overall inventory (e.g., 10), without creating Size options initially.
Install the app and create a new option set.
Add Size options within the app, utilizing a suitable display type like Buttons.
