Creating a product with the new limit of 2,000 variants "Developer preview" with "Extended Variant"

Topic summary

Problem: A test store created under the Developer preview with Extended Variants still enforced a 100-variant cap, causing productVariantsBulkCreate (GraphQL 2024-10) to fail with “Exceeded maximum number of variants allowed.”

Evidence: The shop’s resourceLimits returned maxProductVariants: 100 and maxProductOptions: 3. An attached screenshot shows these limits.

Context: Store domain is 2000-variant.myshopify.com. The expectation was a 2,000-variant limit with Extended Variants.

Update from support:

  • Acknowledged the issue and is investigating.
  • Manually updated the specific shop to allow 2,000 variants.

Outcome: Immediate shop-level fix applied; the user confirmed and thanked support.

Status: Partially resolved. The individual store is fixed, but the underlying cause and a general solution are still under investigation. No broader rollout guidance or timelines were provided.

Hello,

I have created a new test store using “Developer preview” with “Extended Variants,” but when I execute my GraphQL code ‘productVariantsBulkCreate’ (version 2024-10), I receive the following error: “Exceeded maximum number of variants allowed.”

This is my shop: 2000-variant.myshopify.com
