Looking to combine two listings into one single listing, does anyone know how to do that?
Hi @Ecomowner
Are you referring to collections as listing?
If yes, please check if the collection are Manual or Automatic
If they are Automatic then same conditions can be used to combine the 2 collections.
If you’d like to discuss this more, don’t hesitate to send me a PM.

If you mean show multiple products as a single product on one page for the online sales channel:
- If the store is on a ShopifyPlus plan it can use the combined listings app and requires an advanced theme customization
- For all other plans that requires an advanced theme customization to present them like it’s one product though technical and logistically they will be separate products in places like the checkout, orders, fulfillment, inventory, etc.
IF by listing you mean showing multiple collections as a single collection, aka Product Description Listings, that takes either:
- for the online-sales channel: advanced theme customizations to show them as one collection
- for the online-sales channel AND for in the admin: automations, scripting, or product CSV imports to populate a single manual collection with products from different automated collections with different rules, or incompatible rules.
For automations,
Shopify flows product status update action could be used to add products to the relevant collection when it’s found to be in one of the other collections.

Those use product-status-updated trigger does mean having to create a way to kick things off such as tagging all relevant products or resetting the initial collections so the product properties change somehow.
Or a bit more advanced use the Get Collection Data action to go over the products

There’s also scriptable automation apps like mechanic for use in these scenarios
Examples but no exact match

ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail in ALL correspondence.
Good Hunting.
If you’re looking into something like the Shopify Combined Listings app but are not on the Plus plan, check out https://apps.shopify.com/groupmate
If you’re trying to show two (or more) separate products as one unified listing on the storefront - similar to how Shopify Combined Listings works - this is possible even without Shopify Plus by using an app that links products together on the product page.
Just as a quick note of transparency: I help maintain an app called Swatch Color Options by SC, and it includes a feature for “combined listings / product siblings”. It lets you connect individual products so customers can switch between them through swatches or buttons, while keeping inventory and SKUs separate in the admin.
It doesn’t merge products in the backend (Shopify doesn’t allow that), but it presents them as a single listing on the storefront.
Not saying it’s the only solution out there - but it’s an option to consolidated listings without upgrading to Plus or doing heavy theme customization.
If you’d like more details on how the linking logic works or whether it fits your setup, happy to help.
Hi,
Hope this will help
You can’t technically merge two listings in Shopify, but you can combine them by turning everything into variants under one main product.
Move the images/SKUs/pricing over then archive the second product and set up a 301 redirect to keep SEO intact. That’s the normal way most stores handle it.
Hi, @Ecomowner
Can you share the store URL and take a screenshot to describe your requirements? So that I can assist you.
