How to add Options to Option Set

Once you’ve created an Option Set in InkyBay, the next step is to add options to make your products fully customizable. Options define what your customers can select, enter, or upload on the product page, such as text, numbers, swatch,  or files. You can add unlimited options to a single Option Set and combine multiple input types like text fields, dropdowns, radio buttons, swatches, file uploads, and custom size inputs. This allows you to create a powerful and dynamic product configuration.

Click the + Add New Option Set to create your unique option set with unlimited variations. 

Add options to the option set and apply them to products

1. Options tab - The Options tab is the starting point for configuring an option set. It lists all existing options added to this set and provides the tools to add, edit, reorder, and delete them. 

2. Option set name - Displays the name of the option set. In this example, Customise Scarf. This name is used internally to identify the option set when assigning it to products. It is also displayed to customers on the product page. 

3. Option type selector - Click the dropdown to select the input type for the new option you are about to add. The following option types are available: 

1. Text: A single-line text input field

2. Long Text: A multi-line text area

3. Number: A numeric input field

4. Single Choice – Drop Down: Customers select one option

5. Single Choice – Radio: Customers select one option

6. Single Choice – Swatch: Customers select one option

7. Multiple Choice – Check Box: Customers can select more than one

8. Multiple Choice – Swatch: Customers can select more than one

9. Custom Size – Free Size: A free-form size input where customers enter both a custom width and height value manually. Use this for products with no fixed dimension constraints (e.g., banners, stickers, or cut-to-size materials) where the customer defines the exact size they need

10. Custom Size – Fixed Width: A size input where the width is fixed by the merchant, and customers enter only the height value. Use this for products that have a set width but a variable height (e.g., roll labels or fixed-width fabric cuts)

11. Custom Size – Fixed Height: A size input where the height is fixed by the merchant, and customers enter only the width value. Use this for products with a set height but a variable width (e.g., shelf strips or fixed-height signage panels)

12. File Attachment: An upload field for customers to attach a file

4. +New Option - After selecting an option type from the dropdown, click + New Option to add a new option row to the list. The new option appears in the list above with the selected input type assigned. 

5. Option name - Enter the name of the option.

6. Edit - Click Edit to add attributes to the option and get relevant settings (based on option type) on the next screen.  

7. Apply Rule - Apply the option set to products (custom or regular store products) with “Apply rule”. You can apply the option set to products in multiple ways. Select a rule from the drop-down. By default, it will be selected No rule, this means this option set is not yet applied to any products. You can selectively apply the rule from:

1. Type: Apply this option set by using the product type from your Shopify products.

2. Vendor: Apply this option set by using product vendors from your Shopify products.

3. Tag: Apply this option set by using a product tag from your Shopify products.

4. Handle: Apply this option set to a single product by using the product handle/URL.

8. Enter option attribute details - Select/type the option attribute based on your selection on number 7

9. Trash icon - Click the trash icon to remove the option. After that, all of its attributes and conditional child options (if any) are permanently removed.
