Hey @Farid, to your note in your article:
- Important Note: The current limit of three product options per product remains unchanged. While there is speculation about increased flexibility, Shopify has not confirmed any changes to this limit.
This is not necessarily true. Through my own digging since October 2024, much like the release of the extended variants, there is a moving goal post and adjustment of language regarding this topic. The timeline shifts with no official statement, and I have older screenshots collected with different wording and continued vague timelines.
Reviewing the dev docs for the API: Using the latest GraphQL product APIs
As of version 2024-04, there are key changes to the product model that are fundamental to scaling variants beyond 100 and options beyond 3:
Noted in the intro post to this category: Welcome to the New GraphQL Product APIs board!, point 6:
- I am seeing support for 2000 variants, but only 3 options on the test store in the Dev Preview. Is that expected?
Yes. The developer preview test stores are currently limited to 2K variants and 3 options. We expect to raise the option limit sometime in 2025. Please note that there will be no Admin API changes for supporting increased options, so your app should be able to benefit from increased options without any additional changes.
