How it sells itself

Collect the details shoppers need for personalized products and gift orders. Add text fields, choices, swatches and image or PDF uploads from 12 input types to product pages, with fixed fees and conditional display. Assign option sets to products, collections or tags. Option fees appear as separate add-on items in the cart, checkout and order; required fields are checked again at checkout.

Exact Options lets you add custom fields to your products, such as text, engraving, gift wrap and paid add-ons. Buyers see a live total as they choose. The add-on price is applied to the cart line itself, with no extra product or hidden variant, so it stays correct in the cart, at checkout and with Buy Now. Chosen options appear on the order and in the default confirmation email, with no code edits.

Key points
  • 11 input types: text, number, date, dropdown, swatches, checkboxes and more
  • Fixed fee per choice or when a field is filled in, charged per item
  • Show an option only when an earlier answer matches (conditional display)
  • Assign option sets to products, collections or tags, with exclusions
  • Add text, dropdown, checkbox and other option fields without code
  • Charge for add-ons with no extra products or hidden variants
  • Show or hide fields based on what the buyer picks
