Hi everyone,

For stores with a wide range of styles or colors, Shopify’s 100-variant limit can be restrictive. To solve this, we created Productify Groups, an app that links separate products together using visual swatches.

Each color or style remains a standalone product (with its own images, description, SEO, and inventory), but shoppers can browse them as if they were one grouped product.

Key Features:

  • Link individual products as swatches (great for color selection)

  • Customizable swatch themes to match any store design

  • Uses Shopify Metafields for structured group data

  • No-code dashboard to create and manage product groups

  • Streamlined navigation and product discovery experience

This method is ideal for fashion, accessories, and multi-style catalogs where variant limits create friction.

Here’s the app listing:

Thanks!
