Until now, configento.app has been available for Magento and Shopware stores. Now the third major e-commerce platform joins the lineup: Shopify. Millions of Shopify stores eventually run into the same limitation — and that's exactly where configento.app comes in.
The problem: 100 variants aren't enough
Shopify is the first choice for many merchants — quick to set up, reliable, with a huge app ecosystem. One limitation remains, regardless of which plan you're on: Shopify supports a maximum of 100 variants per product.
For a t-shirt in 5 colors and 6 sizes, that's plenty. For a carport in 40 widths, 20 heights, 8 roof colors, and 3 materials, it's nowhere near enough. Anyone selling sun protection, furniture, building components, or other custom-made products quickly ends up with millions instead of hundreds of possible combinations.
Most Shopify merchants in this situation rely on workarounds: separate inquiry forms, manual quotes via email, or they abandon Shopify altogether for a more complex platform. None of these solutions are particularly good.
The solution: configento.app for Shopify
configento.app brings a full product configurator directly to the Shopify product page — without touching the variant limit at all. Instead of using Shopify variants, configento.app handles the entire configuration logic: attributes, dependencies, pricing. At the end, the finished configuration goes straight into the standard Shopify cart.
Millions of combinations instead of 100 variants
Width, height, color, material, drive mechanism — every combination is calculated dynamically rather than stored as a fixed variant in the database. The rule engine ensures that only technically valid combinations can even be selected.
Real-time price calculation
The price updates instantly with every selection — via surcharges per attribute, Excel and CSV price matrices, or custom formulas. No page reload, no waiting.
Seamlessly integrated into the theme
The configurator automatically adopts the colors and fonts of the Shopify theme. Customers can't tell that part of the page comes from an external cloud solution — no configento.app branding, no visual break in the design.
Standard Shopify checkout
The finished configuration goes directly into the cart, including all selected attributes and the calculated price. Checkout then runs entirely through Shopify — all payment methods, discount codes, and shipping options work unchanged.
Who is this for?
A Shopify product configurator pays off wherever products are custom-made or have many combinable attributes with dependencies:
- Sun protection and roller shutters (width, height, color, drive)
- Carports and garden sheds (dimensions, roof shape, material)
- Custom furniture (wood type, fittings, dimensions)
- Building components like windows and doors
- Customizable industrial products
If your products can't be meaningfully squeezed into 100 Shopify variants, that's exactly the moment a configurator pays for itself.
Available now in the Shopify App Store
configento.app is now available as an app in the Shopify App Store: the plugin, theme embedding, price calculation and checkout connection are complete, and billing runs directly through Shopify — just as straightforward as for Magento and Shopware. How to install the app and link your products is explained in the Shopify plugin guide.
