Merchants running Oxify apps
Variants fit size and colour, not a name, a file or a date
Shopify lets a product have up to 3 options and, since 15 October 2025, up to 2,048 variants (the old ceiling was 100). That is plenty for a t-shirt in four sizes and three colours. It still falls apart the moment a product needs an engraved name, an uploaded logo, a delivery date or a gift message — a variant is a fixed combination of preset values, so none of those can be one, and merchants end up faking them with theme hacks.
Shopify's native options
- Up to 3 options per product and 2,048 variants (the cap was 100 until 15 October 2025).
- No text input field, so engraving and gift messages need a theme hack.
- No file upload, so custom artwork arrives by email after the order.
- No date picker, so delivery dates get typed into the order notes.
- No way to charge for an option — gift wrap needs its own product.
With Oxify Product Options, Variant
- Unlimited options per product, held as line-item properties, so none count toward your 2,048 variants.
- Text, dropdown, checkbox, swatch, file upload and date picker.
- Add-on pricing on any option, as a flat fee or a percentage.
- Conditional logic, so options appear only when they are relevant.
- A live personalizer preview, so the shopper sees what they are buying.
Four costs of faking it
Every workaround for missing options has the same shape: the information arrives after the order, and someone has to chase it.
Theme hacks that break
Hard-coded option fields survive exactly until your next theme update, and then fail silently.
Support tickets for every order
“What name did you want engraved?” is an email you should never have to send.
Revenue you can’t charge for
Gift wrap as a separate product is friction; as an add-on option it is a checkbox.
Wrong orders and refunds
An option the shopper couldn’t preview is an option they will dispute.
Every field a real product actually needs
Text input fields for engraving and monograms, dropdowns for finishes, checkboxes for extras, color swatches and image swatches, a file upload field for artwork, a date picker for delivery. As many choices per field as you need, and nothing hard-coded into your theme.
- Text, textarea, dropdown, radio, checkbox, colour and image swatch
- File upload for customer artwork, logos and photos
- Date pickers for delivery and event dates
- Unlimited options per product — held as line-item properties, so they never count toward Shopify’s variants
Nothing in your theme: options are rendered by the app, so a theme update can’t break them.
Charge for the extras, properly
Gift wrap, engraving, rush handling, a premium finish. Price add-ons attach to any option as a flat fee or a percentage of the product, and each one flows through as a real line item rather than a note someone has to invoice for later.
- Flat-fee or percentage-based pricing on any option
- Carries through checkout as a proper line item, visible in your reporting
- Per-product, per-collection or store-wide option sets
- Charge for gift wrap or engraving without creating a separate product
What Globo and Easify charge: on 13 October 2026 their App Store listings each put add-on pricing on the first paid plan ($9.90 and $9.99 a month).
Show the right field, and show what it looks like
Conditional logic options appear only when they are relevant — ask for the engraving text only after “add engraving” is ticked. The live personalizer renders the choice on the product image as they make it, which is what stops the dispute before it happens.
- Conditional rules: show or hide any option based on another answer
- Live personalizer preview on the product page
- Required-field validation before add-to-cart
- Customers can edit their options from the cart
What Globo and Easify charge: on 13 October 2026 the live preview sat on Globo’s $19.90 plan and Easify’s $19.99 plan.
Assign to hundreds of products at once
Building an option set once and applying it to a collection is the difference between an afternoon and a fortnight. Bulk assignment, reusable sets and multilingual labels all come free.
- Reusable option sets applied to products, collections or the whole store
- Bulk assignment rather than product-by-product configuration
- Multilingual option labels for international stores
- Online Store 2.0 and mobile-ready, with no code
Where the time goes: build the set once, then assign it to a collection instead of configuring each product.
Options that survive the whole journey
An option is only useful if it reaches your fulfilment team intact. These carry from the product page through to the order.

Free. Not “free tier”.
File upload, add-on pricing, date pickers and the live preview are what the two highly reviewed options apps we checked on 13 October 2026 put behind a paid plan ($9.90 to $19.99 a month). All four are included here at no cost.
No trial to expire, no credit card, no usage cap and no “upgrade to unlock” on any feature listed here.
Install freeSo what’s the catch?
- Every feature on this page is free. There is no locked tier behind it.
- No trial clock — the app does not stop working after 14 days.
- No usage cap, no order limit and no branding you have to pay to remove.
- We build paid apps too, and free apps are how merchants meet us.
- If you never install the paid one, this still costs you nothing.
- Uninstall whenever you like — it leaves nothing behind in your theme.
When you want to raise average order value rather than just fix one surface, our paid app, Oxify Cart Drawer & Upsells, covers the product page, the cart, the sticky cart and post-purchase from one install — from $9.99/month with a 30-day ROI guarantee.

Shopify product options & variants apps — frequently asked questions
What is Oxify Product Options, Variant?
Oxify Product Options, Variant is a free Shopify app from Oxify (developer “Oxify App”) that adds unlimited custom options to products: text fields, dropdowns, checkboxes, color and image swatches, file uploads and date pickers, with conditional logic, add-on pricing, a live personalizer preview, bulk assignment and editing in the cart. Options are stored as line-item properties, so they do not count toward Shopify’s variant limit. It is rated 4.8 from 12 reviews, is Built for Shopify, has been listed since April 2025 and lists a single price: Free (listing checked 13 October 2026).
How does it compare with Globo and Easify?
Globo Product Options, Variant (4.9 from 5,155 reviews) and Easify Custom Product Options (4.9 from 3,150) have far more reviews than Oxify Product Options, Variant (4.8 from 12), and all three are Built for Shopify. All three have a free plan with unlimited option sets and conditional logic. Globo and Easify charge for add-on pricing, file upload and date pickers from $9.90 and $9.99 a month, and for the live preview from $19.90 and $19.99; Oxify includes all four free. Figures from the live listings, 13 October 2026.
Do I still need a product options app now that Shopify allows 2,048 variants?
Only if variants can’t hold what you sell. Since 15 October 2025 Shopify allows up to 2,048 variants per product, up from 100 (Shopify changelog), but still only 3 options. A typed name, an uploaded file, a delivery date or a paid extra isn’t a variant. For size and colour alone, native variants are enough.
Do the options count toward Shopify’s 2,048-variant limit?
No. Custom options are stored as line-item properties on the cart line rather than as variants, so they never use your variant allowance. You can keep 2,048 real variants on a product and still add unlimited options on top, such as engraving text and a gift-wrap checkbox.
How do I set up engraving or monogram personalization?
Add a text input field with a character limit, attach an add-on price for the engraving, and turn on the live preview so the customer sees the monogram on the product before they buy. Conditional logic can keep the field hidden until “add engraving” is ticked.
Can I add a gift message field?
Yes. Add a text input field or textarea labelled as a gift message, make it optional, and pair it with a paid gift-wrap checkbox if you charge for wrapping. The message lands on the order as a line-item property, so fulfilment sees it without a single follow-up email.
Can I charge extra for an option?
Yes, as a flat fee or a percentage of the product price. It carries through checkout as a proper line item, so it appears in your reporting and on the customer’s confirmation. On 13 October 2026 the Globo and Easify listings both put add-on pricing on a paid plan ($9.90 and $9.99 a month); here it is free.
Can customers upload a file?
Yes: artwork, logos and photos. On 13 October 2026 the Globo and Easify listings each placed file upload on their first paid plan, from $9.90 and $9.99 a month. Oxify Product Options, Variant includes it free.
What happens if I uninstall it, and what happens to my data?
Everything is removed cleanly. Because it installs as an app embed rather than editing theme files, there is no orphaned Liquid left to clean up. The app requests only the Shopify scopes it needs, we do not sell data, and store data is deleted after uninstall in line with Shopify’s data-retention requirements.
Where do the choices appear after checkout, and can customers edit them?
Choices appear as line-item properties on the order, visible to you, to your fulfilment team and on the customer’s confirmation. Customers can also edit their options from the cart, which saves a support ticket every time someone mistypes a name.
Can I apply one option set to many products?
Yes. Build the set once and assign it in bulk to individual products, whole collections or the entire store, instead of configuring each product separately. Reusable option sets and translated option labels for international stores are included free.
Do I need a developer, and will it work with my theme?
No developer is needed: there is no code to paste and no Liquid to edit, and everything after install is a visual editor. The App Store listing says it works on any Shopify 2.0 theme and is mobile-friendly. Check that your theme is an Online Store 2.0 theme before installing.
Does it slow my store down?
Every storefront app adds some script, so check on your own theme: run PageSpeed Insights on a product page with the app embed switched on, then off. Our options script is delivered from a CDN and loads asynchronously, so it does not block rendering or your buy button. Shopify’s rule for App Store apps is a maximum 10-point drop in a store’s Lighthouse performance score.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every feature on this page is free, with no usage cap and no paid tier behind it. We also build paid apps, Oxify Cart Drawer & Upsells and Oxify Quantity Breaks, and free apps are how most merchants find us, but you are never required to install them.
Can Shopify have unlimited variant options?
Not natively: Shopify allows three options per product and up to 2,048 variants. Inputs that are not really variants, such as engraving text, a gift message, uploaded artwork or a delivery date, work better as custom product options, which count toward neither limit. Oxify Product Options adds unlimited options of that kind for free, with add-on pricing where you want to charge for them.
