product variants

Topic summary

A user needs to configure two independent product variants for the same item in Shopify:

Variant 1: Stock-limited option

  • Quantity depends on available inventory

Variant 2: Custom-made option

  • Requires customer-provided measurements
  • Made to order

Challenge: These variants operate independently (not linked to each other) but must both apply to the same product. The user is seeking guidance on how to set up this dual-variant structure within Shopify’s product configuration system.

Hi

how do i add to product variants that arent linked to one another but both apply to the same product. one variant is limited by the amount of stock available while the other is a custom option where clients provide measurements for a part of the product that is custom made for them.
