# 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.
