1. What are customizable options?

You can elevate your product customization with Eurus' unique Customizable Options feature. Unlike Shopify's default settings, each product is restricted to a maximum of 3 options to create variants. Additionally, these options are limited to the select format.

Eurus enables admins to add multiple Customizable Option blocks to a single product. You can create a personalized shopping experience by selecting the type and quantity of Customizable Option blocks for each product.

                  4. Limitations

                    While this feature in Eurus Theme significantly enhances the product personalization experience, it's important to note a limitation: Customizable Options do not make any change to product prices and do not support the individual tracking of inventory for each customization option.

                    Our team is actively researching and developing solutions to address this limitation, providing a more comprehensive inventory tracking feature.
