Who uses King Product Options, Variants?

The typical King Product Options store has a mid-sized catalog. Its median store lists 74 products, fewer than Globo (about 94), OPTIS (90), Ymq (113) or Infinite Options (146), but more than Easify (51). The median store runs 8 detected apps, the same as Globo and OPTIS. That is a store with enough products to need custom fields, but not the very large catalogs that lead the category.

About 8.4% of King Product Options stores run Shopify Plus, nearly 2x the Shopify-wide rate. That is above Globo (about 6.3%), OPTIS (about 6.1%) and SC Product Options (about 7.6%), and below its sister app Ymq (about 15.4%) and Infinite Options (about 13.6%). For a free app, that is a notable share of larger merchants, which suggests some Plus stores use it as a light, no-cost way to add a few options rather than a full configurator.

King Product Options is used beyond the United States, but the US is its largest market by a wide margin at about 43% of stores. The United Kingdom follows at about 9%, Australia at about 7%, Canada and India at about 7% each, and Germany at about 5%. 57% of its stores are outside the US, a little less than Globo or Easify, which both sit near 60% or above.

By category, business and industrial stores lead at about 24% of stores and fashion follows at about 17%. General shopping, food and drink, and technology each account for 6% to 8%. That mix is close to the rest of the options category: custom fields matter most to stores selling configurable goods, from printed and engraved products to parts and supplies, and to apparel brands that offer personalisation.

The standout pairing is King's sister app. Many King Product Options stores also run Ymq Product Options, which comes from the same developer, either side by side or as they move from one to the other as their needs change.

Beyond that, the stack is practical and low cost. CWILL's popup email app shows up 3.6x more often than on the average Shopify store, Globo Product Options 2.9x more often, Honeycomb Upsell 2.6x, Smile loyalty 1.9x and Shopify Inbox 1.7x. Globo appearing here points to merchants who compare options apps side by side. The rest describes a store that collects emails with a popup, offers upsells on the product page and handles customer chat with Shopify's own free tool.

For anyone selling to Shopify brands, a King Product Options install marks a store that sells configurable products and prefers free or low-cost tools. The higher than average Plus share means it is not only small stores, though; it is worth checking the rest of the stack before drawing conclusions about budget.

Ymq is King's sister app from the same developer, rated 5.0 across 424 reviews. It has a free plan and paid plans at $9.99, $16.99 and $26.99 a month. Ymq stores have larger catalogs (median 113 products against 74) and the highest Plus share in the category, about 15.4%.
