Create collection by variants?

Retail & Point of Sale
1

I have products with several variants, but I want a collection that shows just one of the variants within each product.

I sell original poster art, and I want to offer just one size (16"x20") at an Art Fair. I don’t want to have to drill down through all the other variants in the P.O.S. app. I just want to create one tile in the P.O.S. app that has all 16"x20" variants of my products, so it’s just one click to add it to cart.

Please advise,

Hey @Bob_Tema

That’s something Shopify Sidekick AI can help you with. Have you tried it before? Just simply share complete details with it and then it’ll build all your collections accordingly depending on your product variants. Happy to help if there’s any confusion.

Hope that helps! If it did, a Like and Marking it as Solution goes a long way and helps others find the fix faster too.

Best,

I’m the owner of Variants on Collection app, which helps merchants display variants as separate products based on any combination (e.g., Color, Color & Size, etc.). You can also customize settings per collection such as showing specific variants by filter, or manually.

An advanced theme customization beyond the scope of the forums.
Reach out for services to get it taken care of to improve sales.

One DIY band-aid is just use a URL to a collection with those products filtered to specific options on the storefront and the products featured-images edited to incorporate the variant(options) you want to emphasize.

Hi @Bob_Tema

Shopify POS doesn’t natively let you filter a collection to show only specific variants. Collections work at the product level—so when you tap a product, it still opens the variant picker. There’s no built-in way to create a “16×20 only” tile that skips that step.

You can create separate “Art Fair” products
Duplicate each poster product, keep only the 16″×20″ variant, and add those to a dedicated “Art Fair” collection. This gives you a true one-tap checkout in POS.
The downside is that inventory will be separate from your main products unless you use the same SKU/barcode and manage syncing manually or any app

Thank You

This is what I had already started doing, so thank you for confirming that it is a valid method. I was thinking it was too much busy work, but it wasn’t too much effort. And actually having a dedicated set of products just for Art Fairs is an easier way to track inventory just for that one event.
