How can I add custom size options for products without creating multiple SKUs?

Hi there! I’m not sure if this is the correct forum channel for this question, so please direct me elsewhere if needed.

I am selling a product (handlebars) that some customers may want cut to a custom size. I would like to include an option on the product page that allows the customer Check a box to pay an extra $5 for custom-cut size, as well as a box that allows the customer to type in their desired size (or a list that they can choose from, as we only do half-inch increments and sizes only vary by 6 inches). However - I do not want to create multiple skus.

I already have my handlebars made, and simply want to easily include a custom cut-to-size option. Any info helps, thanks!

It would be great if you can share a store URL with me and also needed a reference screenshot of the requirement.

Hi, @Valley !

I’m Helen from Shopify Support. Welcome to the Community!

You can set your products up this way by using a third party product customization app from the Shopify App Store. I recommend taking a look at these ones in particular:

With each of these apps, you’re able to add product options, text boxes, price adjustments and more to your product without having to create variants with separate SKUs.

These apps are made by third party developers, so please reach out to the developer directly if you have any questions about the functionality or set up.

They all also have free trial periods, which is a good opportunity to install it on your store and work with it to see if it functions as you need it to before any charges apply. Just be sure to uninstall the ones you don’t want to use, before the trial period ends so that you aren’t charged for it.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi @Valley ,

It’s been a while since you first raised your topic, and I noticed that you received suggestions for various third-party apps to help you set up your options. However, I’d like to recommend another app that provides more features at a more affordable price: the Easify Product Options app :hugs: .

This is a new-generation product options app that offers a range of advanced features to enhance your sales. With features such as live preview, 25 option types to choose from, ready-to-use option sets, and additional capabilities like tiered wholesale pricing, discount codes on the cart page, and in-cart option editing, it provides a comprehensive solution for your needs.

Here’s a quick demonstration of how you can set up your options using the app:

  • Create a new option set:

  • Add an option for customers to select whether they want a custom-cut size or not, utilizing the Checkbox option type.

  • Include another option for customers to choose their desired size if they select “Custom-cut size” using the Number Text Box or Dropdown option type.

  • Configure Conditional Logic so that the above option is displayed only when the “Custom-cut size” checkbox is selected.

  • Once you’ve created your option set, assign it to the relevant product(s) in your store.

I encourage you to try the app, as it offers a user-friendly interface and a range of exciting features to explore. It’s easy to use, and I’m confident it will meet your requirements :raising_hands: .
