Do you have confused about  custom options vs configurable products?

Do't worried about that, Now Innovateme here avaliable to solved your confusion.


Magento 2 custom option (or customizable option) is a feature that allows creating product variations without depending on attributes. By adding custom options to a product.


Admin can easily create various options of different types, such as text field, text area, file, drop-down, multiple select, radio buttons, checkbox, date, date & time, time, etc.


Meanwhile, a configurable product is a product with multiple attributes for you to choose from. It’s just like a single product with options for each variation.


The custom option in simple products can’t help you with this, but with Magento configurable one, everything is updated automatically since the child products’ inventories are independent.
