Options are not showing on the backend
Last updated
If orders are being placed and customers are filling out their customization options, but you're not seeing those selections on the Shopify backend, there are three common reasons this happens. Work through them in order and test after each one.
For option selections to pass through to your orders, the Infinite Options app block needs to be installed and added to the product template in your Shopify theme editor. If it's missing entirely or placed somewhere else in the theme, selections won't record correctly.

It's also possible to have the Infinite Options app block added more than once, which can happen after a theme update, a theme change, or if the block was added again during troubleshooting. When two blocks are present, they can conflict with each other and prevent selections from being recorded on the order.
In the Shopify theme editor, open your product template and check the sections list for more than one Infinite Options block. If you find a duplicate, remove the extra block so only one remains, then save and test a product.
Some themes use a feature called Quick Shop or Quick View, which lets customers add products to their cart directly from a collection page, the bottom of a product page, or the homepage without visiting the full product page. When this happens, Infinite Options never gets the chance to collect their selections, so nothing is saved to the order.
For more information on what causes this and how to fix it, see Quick Shop Feature.
If shoppers can click Add to Cart before the option fields have finished loading, their selections won't be captured. This usually happens on slower connections or with certain theme configurations.
Adding a short code snippet to your theme helps Infinite Options load faster so the fields appear before customers can add to cart.
