Why do I need to add a line of code (the install code snippet) to my theme?
The install code snippet (seen here:
Install Infinite Options) ensures that everything is running as it should. When the snippet is not added, Infinite Options will take its best guess at where to display the options on your product page.
By placing the install code snippet, you will tell the app where in the theme exactly the options should display. If you need any help with adding this line of code, feel free to reach us here at the Customer Success team.

Why are my options labeled "infinite_options_1"?
By default,
infinite_options_1 is the generated field name Infinite Options uses for options. This text appears at the cart summary screen, checkout, and the order details page next to what the customer has input or selected for the option. We recommend adjusting this and making it unique for all of your options.

Can I add a cost to an option?
Our Product Bundles feature allows you to attach an add-on product to the option selection so you can add an extra cost to your main product. Create a new product like $5.00 gift wrapping and bundle it to your option. When selected, both products will be added to cart.

How can I link options to my inventory?
At this time, Infinite Options is not able to track inventory. Our preferred workaround is to use Shopify variants to track inventory and then use Infinite Options for the additional fields that don't need to be tracked in inventory.
Can the product image change depending on an option selection?
At this time, Infinite Options is unable to change the product image based on which option is selected. A suggested workaround is to use your Shopify variants for product image changes, and Infinite Options for additional selections.
Can I use Infinite Options' conditional logic feature along with Shopify variants?
While the
conditional logic feature allows you to add rules to your options, they cannot be applied to Shopify variants. The feature only works with options created through our app.
Can I use Infinite Options with Shopify promo codes?
You can use Shopify promo codes with Infinite Options and accept them at checkout without any issues. There is no conflict with discounts and the options you create with our application.
Why do I see some random code on my cart page when using the Product Bundles feature?
When using the
Product Bundles feature with Infinite Options, there may be some strange text that appears at the cart page. To hide that strange text, you can follow this guide here:
Hiding product bundle data on the cart page.
Will Infinite Options allow me to show customers the product with their own personalized options?
Unfortunately, Infinite Options will not show you a live preview directly on top of the product's image.
Does Infinite Options work with Quick View?
Unfortunately, Quick View does not support third party apps so you will not be able to use that feature with Infinite Options.
