# Add on product is not working as expected

Before troubleshooting, it helps to know what Add-on Pricing should do and how it displays in the cart and at checkout.

***

## What you should expect to see

When Add-on Pricing is set up correctly, the add-on's cost is included with the main product behind the scenes. You won't see it as a separate line item in the cart — that's how it's designed to work. The updated total will appear in the cart, at checkout, and in the order details in your Shopify admin.

If the total isn't updating when the option is selected, work through the steps below.

Note: If you're coming from the older [Product Bundles](/infinite-options/increase-the-cost-of-an-option/should-i-use-add-on-pricing-or-product-bundling.md#what-is-product-bundling) method, you may be used to seeing the add-on as a separate cart line. Add-on pricing works differently. See [Moving from Product Bundling to add-on pricing](https://shoppad.gitbook.io/infinite-options/~/revisions/5xmUPtXVHKlSZZKABv5e/increase-the-cost-of-an-option/moving-from-legacy-to-native-bundling).

## Step 1: Check that Infinite Options is installed on your active theme

This is the most common cause. When you switch themes, the Infinite Options app block doesn't carry over automatically. It needs to be added to the new theme separately.

In your Shopify admin, go to **Online Store > Themes** and click **Customize** on your active theme.

At the top of the theme editor, open the page selector dropdown, select **Products**, and choose your product template.

In the left sidebar, look for the **Infinite Options Fields** block. If it's not there, click **Add block** and select **Infinite Options Fields** from the Apps tab.

Make sure the block is positioned above the **Add to Cart** button. Click **Save**.

If you don't see an **Add block** option at all, your theme may be a Shopify 1.0 theme. See the manual installation guide for next steps.

## Step 2: Confirm Native Bundling is enabled

In the Infinite Options app, go to **Settings > Product Bundling**.

Confirm the **Native Bundling** toggle is turned on. Add-on pricing is enabled via this toggle.

***

## Step 3: If the price is linked to a product, check it in Shopify

Skip this step if the price uses **Don't track inventory or SKU**.

In your Shopify admin, find the product you created for the add-on.

The add-on product does not need to be assigned to your Online Store sales channel. If the product is set to track inventory but the inventory is set to 0, it will display a "sold out" message. Either set the inventory to a higher number or turn off inventory tracking for that product to resolve the issue

***

## Step 4: Check the option's price

Open the option set and open the priced option selection.

Confirm it has a price and a price type. If it shows "Needs a price", enter an amount.

If it uses a product, check that the product card shows the right product.

Then click **Save**.

***

## Testing your setup

Once you've completed the steps above, test on your live storefront. Open a product page directly in your browser, select the option, add to cart, and proceed to checkout to confirm the updated total appears.

Don't test in the theme editor preview — it doesn't always reflect app behavior accurately.

***

## The price isn't showing on the product page

By default, the price update happens in the cart, not on the product page. If you want customers to see the updated total on the product page before they add to cart, you need to add the Dynamic Bundle Price block to your theme.

## Still not working?

If you've gone through all four steps and the order total still isn't updating, there may be a conflict from another 3rd-party app.&#x20;
