How can I customize product options for customers?

Topic summary

Goal: Let customers enter a custom number and name on a product.

Key points:

  • Shopify’s native variants support up to 3 options and 100 total variant combinations per product. Variants are predefined choices (e.g., size/color), not free-text personalization.
  • For custom text (e.g., a name printed on a shirt), a third‑party app is needed from the Shopify App Store.

Suggested solutions:

  • Staff-recommended apps: Variant Option Product Options; Product Options & Customizer; Bold Product Options.
  • Another option: Easify Product Options (free). Proposed setup:
    • Create a custom option set.
    • Add a Number text box for the desired number.
    • Add a Text box for the customer’s name.
    • Optionally hide option labels (e.g., “Number,” “Name”).

Notes:

  • Screenshots/images were shared to illustrate the Easify setup steps.

Status/next steps:

  • No confirmation from the original poster; the thread remains open. Next actions are to review Shopify’s variant docs and test one of the recommended product options apps to enable text inputs.

Hi!

Can I find more settings for the products on option?

Because I want to have an option where my costumer can choose different number and own name on the product.

But I don`t know how to do. Please help!

Hi @Dekalkit123 ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community! I’m happy to provide some assistance with product options and variants to get this resolved. To provide some context, variants allow for products that have more than one option (i.e size and color) to be customized by customers. Currently each product can have up to 3 options with 100 variant combinations natively within Shopify. I recommend checking out our Adding Variants Documentation for more information on this feature.

To customize this even further, such as allowing customers to personalize their product (i.e.putting a name on a t-shirt), an app from the Shopify App Store would be required. We currently have various apps available that will allow you to achieve this and have suggested a few below you can check out:

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Hi @Dekalkit123 ,

For your requirements, I recommend creating a custom option set with two elements: a Number text box for customers to enter their desired number and a Text box for them to enter their name.

To achieve this, the free Easify Product Options app is a great choice :hugs: . Allow me to demonstrate how you can use the app to set up your options:

  • Start by creating your custom option set.

  • Add a Number text box for customers to enter the desired number.

  • Add a Text box for customers to enter their name

You can also hide the option names (“Number” & “Name”) if you want:

By following these simple steps using the Easify Product Options app, you can easily set up the custom options you need to enhance your customers’ experience. Give it a try :victory_hand: !
