# Where do my options appear?

When a customer fills out your custom options and places an order, their selections are saved as line item properties, which is extra data attached to the order. \
\
Here's everywhere those selections show up, and where they don't.

#### What about checkout?

{% hint style="info" %}
**Looking for your options in a CSV export?** Shopify's native order export doesn't include option selections. See [Can I export options with orders via a CSV file?](https://shoppad.gitbook.io/infinite-options/faqs-and-how-tos/can-i-export-options-with-orders-via-a-csv-file) for your options.
{% endhint %}

Customers cannot make new option selections at checkout — that happens on the product page. However, the selections they've already made will be confirmed and visible in the order summary at checkout.

#### Order confirmation email

Order confirmation emails don't include line item properties by default. You'll need to add a code snippet to your Shopify email template to display them. See our [Display Options on Shopify Notifications guide for instructions.](https://shoppad.gitbook.io/infinite-options/display-options-on-shopify-notifications)

#### Third-party apps

**Order Printer**

Options are available in Order Printer but require a template update to display. Use the line\_item.properties Liquid variable and match the exact label you used in your option set. [See our Order Printer guide for a ready-to-use template example.](https://shoppad.gitbook.io/infinite-options/display-options-on-shopify-notifications/order-printer-pro-templates)

**Shippo and other shipping apps**

Options don't come through to Shippo automatically. Shippo's order sync pulls standard Shopify order data — product title, variant, SKU, and quantity — but doesn't include line item properties where your custom option selections are stored.

If you need option data visible in Shippo, a [MESA automation can copy your option selections into the order notes field,](https://www.getmesa.com/templates/save-infinite-options-to-shopify-order-notes) which does sync across. See our MESA integration guide for more details.

**AutoDS and other fulfillment tools**

Fulfillment tools that sync from Shopify generally import the order but don't automatically pass line item properties to suppliers. You'll need to check each personalized order manually, or set up an automation to forward the data. [See Can I export options with orders via a CSV file](https://shoppad.gitbook.io/infinite-options/faqs-and-how-tos/can-i-export-options-with-orders-via-a-csv-file)? for more details.

**Shopify CSV export**

Shopify's native order export doesn't include line item properties. To get your option data in a spreadsheet, use the [Export orders with options workflow.](https://www.getmesa.com/templates/export-shopify-product-options-to-google-sheets) This covers orders from the last 60 days by default.

#### Tips

* Options are stored as line item properties, not Shopify variants, they don't create new SKUs
* If you need options to appear in a third-party app, the most reliable approach is to use a MESA automation to copy them into order notes, which most apps can read.
* Always check your order confirmation email after your first test order to confirm options are appearing as expected.
