Track Inventory
Using Native Bundling to track inventory with Infinite Options
Infinite Options does not control inventory on its own. However, you can track inventory by using Native Bundling, which connects option selections to real Shopify products.
How Native Bundling works
With Native Bundling, each option choice is linked to an actual Shopify product.
When a shopper selects an option:
The linked product is added to the cart automatically
Shopify tracks inventory for that product
If the product is out of stock, it cannot be added
This allows Infinite Options to work together with Shopify’s inventory system instead of trying to replace it.
Example use cases:
Track inventory for add-ons like gift wrapping or engraving
Manage stock for bundle items such as 3-piece sets
Limit availability for premium upgrades
Track inventory for optional accessories
How to set this up
Step 1: Create the add-on products
Create a Shopify product for each item you want to track inventory for.
Enable inventory tracking on the product
Set the available quantity
The product does not need to be visible on the Online Store channel
Step 2: Create your option set
In Infinite Options:
Create an option set for your main product
Add option values that represent each add-on or bundle item
Link each option to products using Native Bundling
For each option value, click the link icon to connect it to the Shopify product it represents.
Step 4: Test your setup
Add the main product to the cart and select different options.
Confirm the linked products appear in the cart
Check that inventory decreases when an order is placed.
Important notes
Inventory is controlled by Shopify, not Infinite Options
Native Bundling is required for inventory tracking
When using Native Bundling, Shopify applies discounts to all bundled products that meet the discount rules, not just the main product, because each option selection is added to the cart as a real Shopify product. https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/discounts/buy-x-get-y
Frequently asked questions
Can Infinite Options control inventory by itself? No. Infinite Options displays and manages option selections, but inventory tracking is handled by Shopify. Native Bundling connects the two so inventory updates correctly.
