FAQ - Products Module Element Prices

How do you define a fixed price for a customization?

One of the less frequently used options of our product customization app is that it can replace traditional Shopify variants using our Products module.

But when you’re no longer using Shopify’s variant system…

How do you handle different prices?

That’s where custom pricing with hidden price elements comes in.

Add Custom Pricing Without Shopify Variants

Instead of managing dozens of Shopify variant combinations, you can simply attach a price to any element in your customization view. That way, your customers select the customization from the Products module, and the correct price is updated behind the scenes.

This is done using a pricing element that carries the extra cost associated with the variant choice, just like it would be handled in Shopify.

How to Set It Up

Here’s how to create a custom price setup in just a few steps:

1. Activate Custom Pricing

Before adding any extra prices, make sure custom pricing is enabled:

• In the Settings, look for Integration and in there for Custom Pricing.
• Custom priced products require the write publications permission from Shopify. If it hasn’t been granted yet, use the Request Access button at the top of the Custom Pricing section — the options below stay disabled until access is granted.
• Under Creating Custom Priced Products, activate either Bundle Products (recommended) or Copied Products (legacy).
• Optional: with Bundle Products, you can control the tags of the created bundle products — enable Copy Tags to Bundle Product to carry over all tags from the original product, and use Add Tags to Bundle Product to define tags that are always added automatically.

2. Add a Price Element

Now open the customization view you want to charge extra in the Product Builder:

• Select or add the relevant preset element in the Product Builder (like the background or just an empty text or image element).
• In the General Element Options panel (on the right), scroll to the Price field.
• Enter the additional amount you want to add to the product price.

3. Test the Price Behavior

Always preview and test your setup:

• Open the product this customization is linked to in your store frontend and check that the price updates accordingly.
• Add the product to your cart to ensure the final pricing reflects your configuration.
• Don’t worry if the custom priced product itself doesn’t show up in your storefront catalog or search: it is created as unlisted on purpose, and it is only published once its final price has been set — so customers never see it with a placeholder price.

Summary

You don’t need complex Shopify variant logic to offer flexible pricing. Just:

• Turn on custom pricing
• Use preset elements to attach extra charges

This keeps your product pages clean, customizable, and easy to manage, all while giving you total control over your pricing model.
