Globo Product Options, Variant
The Globo Product Options, Variant is a comprehensive tool designed to enhance the shopping experience on Shopify stores by breaking the limitations of Shopify’s default product variant options. Launched in December 2020, it is particularly popular among businesses in the US and is built to work effortlessly with the latest Shopify themes and directly within the Shopify admin.
Key features of the app include the ability to create an unlimited number of custom product options, product variants, and variant options. This functionality is critical for Shopify stores that wish to offer more personalized products to their customers, as Shopify’s default settings limit products to a maximum of 3 options and 100 variants. By allowing shoppers to design their products based on flexible option choices, the app not only enhances the customer’s shopping experience but also encourages them to invest a little extra for personalized customization, potentially increasing sales.
The app supports a wide array of option types such as text input fields, file uploads, color swatches, variant images, dropdowns, checkboxes, and more. It also features add-on pricing, enabling merchants to charge additional costs for specific product variants chosen by customers. Another significant functionality is its use of conditional logic, which can show or hide options based on previous selections, streamlining the shopping process for customers and ensuring they are only presented with relevant choices.
For merchants, the Globo Product Options, Variant app offers a highly customizable experience. They can import and export product variants using CSV files, apply option sets to all or specific groups of products, and even customize the appearance of options to match the store’s theme. This level of customization and control makes it easier for merchants to manage their product offerings and tailor their store to meet the unique needs of their customers.
Furthermore, the app’s integration with Shopify POS, Smart Product Filter & Search, and Globo Color Swatches, among others, ensures that it works well within the Shopify ecosystem, providing a seamless experience for both merchants and customers.
