I have some products that I want to offer a ‘pay what you want’ price to the customers, for that I added the different price options as variants; the problem is that the stock/inventory is the same. so when someone chooses option 1 for the price and pays for it, automatically, all the other price options should have their stock updated.
Is there any way of working around it without an app? I thought perhaps using the sam SKU (?) would it work?
I will use this option for just a few products, not the whole store, and all the apps that could do it are quite expensive for the amount of time I will use.
I understand your preference for avoiding the use of apps due to cost concerns. However, developing custom functions for your store with hired developers can also be expensive and time-consuming.
If you reconsider, I recommend the Easify Product Options app as a cost-effective solution to address your needs effortlessly . With this app, you can create “Pay what you want” price options without affecting the inventory of other Shopify options and variants, just as you desire.
