King Product Options & Variant

Having installed and tried many option apps (most of them having monthly fees) only to have them fail due to various reasons. Also our website only has a other app on it so no reason for these other apps not to work due to conflicts.

So many hours installing, uninstalling, removing code, you name it. I decided to give this app a try - I am pleasantly surprised how easy the app is to use, the layout is perfect, so many options that can be added. In fact too many very nice features to even list.

So far, everything is running very smoothly and no issue with our other basic app which is simply a review app.

You will be surprised as I was at how easy it is to use and the many features that most of the paid apps we tried and installed didn't have.

It really is a good app, but I knocked off a star for two reasons:

First, the dearth of documentation. The FAQ link goes to a table of contents, but all of the links (to faq.ymq.cool) appear to be dead, and have been since I installed the app.

Second, there is no visual indication of when a variant is sold out. Yes, you still see Shopify's "Sold Out," but the swatch looks like all the others. There are settings that let you load an image (via URL) and change the border for disabled variants, but they don't function. While this may sound like a minor issue, I know I find it frustrating to have to click a button before I can see if something is in stock—I want to know at a glance—and I'm concerned that my customers will feel the same way.

This message is both a review, and, since none of this is documented, a warning to those who may be trying to get the function to work that it's not you: It's a problem with the app.

That said, I know from reading other reviews and responses that this is a two-man operation and that they're creating and supporting numerous apps. This Product Options app adds a GREAT DEAL of functionality that Shopify does not natively, and it's clear that they have tweaked and added additional features based on customer input. I don't like to slam the creators who allow us to do things that Shopify does not—particularly for free!—and that is not my intention here, but I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what I was doing wrong when, in fact, I wasn't. Hopefully this will save someone else that time.

I was looking for an app which I could use for my store with customizable products. After some search I found this app and it is super easy to use, can add conditions as well in case there are several options. Adding upload function and or text to each product is easily possible. This app helped me a lot, really great and for free.
