# Can Infinite Options connect to other apps or APIs? Infinite Options does not connect directly to external APIs. When a customer selects options on your product page, those selections are saved to the Shopify order as **line item properties**. From there, the data can be accessed through Shopify’s API. In simple terms: * Infinite Options saves the selected data to the Shopify order * Shopify makes that order data available through its API * Other systems can retrieve that data from Shopify Infinite Options does not push data to external systems directly. #### Good to know * Option selections are stored as line item properties on the order. * Any system that pulls order data from Shopify can access those properties. * If you need to automatically send or transform option data for another platform, this typically requires automation or custom development. * Some merchants use tools like [**MESA**](https://www.getmesa.com/) to trigger API calls after an order is created and pass along specific option values. * Infinite Options cannot modify checkout shipping rates or communicate with third-party APIs in real time. If you are trying to send option data to a specific platform, feel free to share more about your setup and what you would like to accomplish. We are happy to help point you in the right direction. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
