How to combine two different products on the same product page?

Hello everyone, I am doing dropshipping and imported 2 products from 2 different suppliers. However, I'm struggling to make both products from different suppliers appear on the same product page as variants. I tried adding the variant to the product page with the other product's information, but it didn’t work as it blocked purchases and didn’t track stock. Could someone please help me?

This is an accepted solution.

No problem! Here’s a simpler way to manage your dropshipping products

Follow these steps:

1. Go to product > Add product in your shopify admin.

2. Create a new product(e.g "Wireless Headphones ).

3. In the Variants Section  add each supplier's product as a variant. For instance:

   Variant 1: "Supplier A - Model 1"

   Variant 2: "Supplier B - Model 2"

Set the price and SKU for each variant according to the respective suppliers.

 

 

Manage Inventory Manually:

1. Keep track of inventory  manually in Shopify. You can update the stock levels based on what you get from each supplier.

2. If you don’t want to track inventory, you can simply set the stock to “0” to avoid overselling, and then manage orders as they come in.

 

Thanks

Hey @User3459 ,

This approach requires some custom coding on your Shopify theme to display the products as variants.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a New Product:

1. Create a parent product (e.g., "Wireless Headphones") with the variants ("Supplier A" and "Supplier B").

2. Assign Metafields:

Use Shopify Metafields to store the Product IDs and Supplier URLs for each variant. You can do this through the Shopify Admin > Settings > Metafields.

3. Customize Product Page Code:
Modify your product page template to:

Detect the selected variant.

Display the correct product details (e.g., images and descriptions) for that variant.

Redirect the order to the relevant supplier’s product.

Stock Management:
Write a small script to fetch stock levels from both suppliers via API or update them manually with Shopify’s bulk editor.

 

Best Regard,

Rajat Sharma

Thank you very much for your response, but I can't do that. I'm new here and I also don't understand programming. Isn't there a simpler way to solve this problem?

I solved by editing in Dsers by adding a sub supplier, but thank you very much for your help!
