 Infinite Options excel at providing a simple choice for customers where there are a large number of options available for a particular product, particularly for hand-made or build-to-order items.

 However, as the number of options is increased, the number of possible combinations of options becomes unmanageable, and this can lead to product pages being slow to load.

 If you need stock tracking on the option, then you'll need to create those options using [[Products#Adding or editing product variations|Product Variations]].
-When you create a product, you'll most likely have defined a number of variations for that product that represent all of the physical versions of that product that you stock. For example, if the product comes in Red, Blue and White colours, then you'll create 3 variations, one for each colour. Each can have a unique Stock Keeping Unit number (SKU), and each variation has its own inventory tracking levels.

 Of course, products may have more than one distinguishing attribute, and the standard product variation allows up to three unique options to be defined for each product variation. For example, you can define a product with variations having up to three attributes, such as Colour, Size and Fabric, for example. Of course, you can choose whatever attributes are appropriate for your product.

 Infinite Options allows you to sell products that are infinitely customisable.  You can create drop down, number, radio, checkbox, text, and long text fields with ease, and apply them to a single product or collection of products.
-Every Infinite Option is purely descriptive. If you offer a customer a choice of options using an Infinite Option selection, the option choice becomes part of the order and is added to the product description in the cart, but it does not affect the price of the product, nor does it affect inventory management.  If you want to create fields that do affect the product price, then you'll want to create [[Products#Adding or editing product variations|Product Variations]] or [[Custom Product Options|Custom Options]] in addition or instead of using Infinite Options.
