How can I add more than three product customization options?

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner selling customizable products hit the platform’s 3-option limit per product and needed to add a fourth variant. Screenshots show the admin interface blocking additional options beyond the existing three.

Workaround implemented: The original poster created separate products for each color variation, allowing all necessary options to fit within the 3-option constraint.

App recommendations provided:

  • Inkybay – Offers unlimited product options with various display formats (dropdown, radio, swatch, checkbox)
  • Easify Product Options – Free version supports color/image swatches, dropdowns with images, and 25+ input types
  • Shopaw Product Options and Magecomp’s FREE Product Options App – Alternative solutions mentioned

Unresolved questions:

  • One user seeks a completely free app (no subscription) for adding a simple fourth text option to a few products
  • Another asks whether custom coding could bypass the limitation
  • A pricing concern remains: how to vary prices by only one option while keeping other options (like color) price-neutral

hello,

my website sells products that has multiple options for customization. so far, ive been able to add 3 options but i need to add one more and it wont give me the option add another variant. did i max out on the number of options i can add? do i need to download an app to do that? when i click on add variant it sends me to the next page where im only able to add to the options i already have instead of creating a whole new variant. please see attachments.

Hello @reggiehargrove2

You can try Inkybay to offer for option on the product page.

Inkybay has an unlimited product options feature. Through this, you can add as many options as you like and can also choose how you want to display those(Drop-down, Radio, Swatch, Checkbox, etc). Additionally, if you want I can give you a demo product so that you can check.

Thank you!

I ended up creating multiple products each of a different color and was able to fit in all my options.

Hi @reggiehargrove2 ,

I’d like to introduce you to another app that simplifies the process of setting up Unlimited product options – the Easify Product Options app. If you’re specifically looking to add an additional Color option, you can easily accomplish this using the Color Swatches (or Image Swatches, Dropdown with images, etc) option input type within the app’sFree version :hugs: .

Here’s a quick guide on how to make the most of the app:

  • Start by creating a new option set:

  • Incorporate a color option by utilizing the Color Swatches or another suitable option type. Take the time to configure your color choices:

Color Swatches:

Image Swatches:

Dropdown with Images:

Buttons:

  • Select the product to which you want to add these color options:

  • That’s all there is to it! Your setup is complete :raising_hands: .

The Easify Product Options app boasts an array of 25 option input types to choose from. These include options like Text box, Dropdown with images, Checkbox, Dimension, Toggle, Radio buttons, Buttons, Quantity, and many more. I encourage you to explore the app to see the full range of possibilities it offers :+1: .

I am so glad that I could help you.

You are always welcome

Hi there,

You can try this app Shopaw Product Options , it’s very easy to use.

Hello @reggiehargrove2

You can try our FREE Shopify Product Options App for your requirements

Is there an app to allow the user to add these options for free without subscriptions?

It would make sense for the whole stores, but for only few items and only a fourth option is required and without photos, only it needs to be reflected on the cart, then let me know what you think?

Hi, Is there a way to customise the store by coding to achieve this ?

I am also wanting to be able have the price varied by only one of the product options. For example, if it’s different bundles I need the price being different for both. And I also have a colour option under the same product but these I wouldn’t need the pricing but instead I have to add in prices for everything which is not good
