How can I list 60 color variants product from Printify to one listing?

Hey guys,

I have 60 color variants of a Printify t-shirt and I want to be listed as one listing, they allow you to choose only 12 colors per product, so I created 6 products with same t-shirt, design and sizes but different colors and when publishing I see them as 6 different products in the shop but I want them to be one.

Can some one please help me solve this?

Thank you in advance

You can achieve this with custom solution with coding.

  • Create a “Parent” Product

    • Add a new product in Shopify.

    • Use variant like size but not color.

    • Add all images (from all 60 colors).

    • Set it as Visible.

  • Hide the 6 Printify Products

    • Uncheck “Online Store” under Sales Channels or tag them as hidden.

    • These still handle fulfillment.

  • Add Custom Color Selector

    • Edit product.liquid or product-template.liquid.

    • Add a

I did, but when previewed it says: XS(size) - Unavailable, Aqua(color) - Unavailable

@JunaidHassan Can you please explain me better? Thank you

Hi @Ace666

You’ve run into one of the common Printify limitations. They cap a product at 12 color variants per listing, which is why you had to split it into 6 products. Unfortunately, Shopify itself doesn’t allow you to “merge” those into one product automatically since each one is being published separately by Printify.

That said, you do have a couple of workarounds:

1. Use a “dummy” parent product

  • Create a manual product in Shopify with all 60 colors set up as variants.

  • Hide the individual Printify products from your storefront (set them to draft or unlisted).

  • Then connect each variant in your parent product to the correct Printify product through the Printify SKU mapping.

  • This way, customers see one product page with 60 color options, but fulfillment still works.

2. Use a bundling/variant app

  • Apps like Variant Option Product Options, Infinite Options, or Bold Product Options let you simulate more than 100 variants and merge multiple products into one “master” product page.

  • Customers see all colors under one listing, and the app routes the order to the correct underlying Printify product.

3. Simplify the catalog

  • If 60 colors is overwhelming for the shopper, consider grouping them (e.g., Neutrals, Brights, Pastels) to keep the UX clean. Sometimes fewer choices = higher conversions.

Thanks

Hello @Ace666

1. Merge them inside Shopify (Manual Method)

  • After publishing from Printify, go into your Shopify admin.
  • Create one “parent” product manually.
  • Copy all 60 variants (colors + sizes) from the 6 separate Printify products into that one product.
  • Then, for each variant, go to “More actions > Connect to Printify” (using the Printify app in Shopify) and link it to the correct Printify variant.

2. Use a Variant/Bundle App

If manual work feels too heavy, you can use apps like:

  • Infinite Options (ShopPad)
  • Variant Option Product Options
  • Custom Product Options apps

These let you fake it as one product with dropdowns/swatches, even if technically you have multiple underlying products. The app then routes to the correct Printify product.

3. Use Printify’s “Connect Existing Product” Feature

  • Publish one product from Printify with 12 colors.
  • Then, create the rest of the colors as separate products in Printify but do not publish them.
  • Instead, in Shopify, add those colors as variants manually under your main listing.
  • Use the Printify dashboard to map/“connect existing product” for each new variant to the right Printify variant.

Hi @Ace666 :raising_hands:

If your goal is to display all 60 colors of the same T-shirt design on a single product page, you might want to take a look at Easify Product Options. :blush:

To help you visualize the setup, I created a similar demo:

  • This is the result:

  • This is the app setting:

You simply need to create a color option and choose either Color Swatch or Image Swatch as the display type. Then you can add all the colors you want to offer. If you’d like a more visual shopping experience, you can use actual color images instead of plain color swatches.

When you have a large number of colors, such as 40, 50, or even 60 options, displaying all of them at once can make the product page look crowded. In that case, you can go to Advanced Settings and enable the Show Image Slider option. This will display the swatches inside a scrollable slider, making it much easier for customers to browse through all available colors while keeping the page clean and organized.:blush:

What I like about this approach is that customers only need to visit a single product page to see all available colors. There’s no need to split the same design into multiple product listings, and customers won’t have to jump between different products just to find the color they want.

If your goal is to create the experience of a single product with all 60 colors available in one place, Easify Product Options could be a solution worth considering. :heart:

You can easily set this up using Misk Smart Product Options. Misk allows you to add an unlimited number of color variants or product image swatches.
You can add all 60 colors you need, and you can also upload actual product images for each swatch.
