Hey! I just started with Shopify and downloaded Dsers to get started with importing products from Aliexpress. I found a led strip light I thought would be good and I imported it but it has way to many variants. On Aliexpress theres just simply the variant of the led strip, the length and waterproofness. When i import it to Shopify i get over 100 options of variants to choose from. That’s because there’s 3 different wall outlets to choose from, china, Russia and UK. And there is one for all of the lengths..how do I fix this problem? On Aliexpress there is not even an option to choose wall outlets.

Thanks!

These are the ones:

It looks like the issue you’re experiencing with the large number of variants for your imported product is due to the way that Dsers imports the product data from Aliexpress. Dsers is importing the available options for the product on Aliexpress as separate variants, which is causing the large number of variants on your Shopify store.

To fix this issue, you will need to edit the product in your Shopify store and remove the unnecessary variants. You can do this by going to the “Variants” section of the product page in the Shopify admin, and clicking the “Delete” button next to each variant that you want to remove.

Alternatively, you can use the “Bulk actions” menu to delete multiple variants at once. To do this, select the checkboxes next to the variants you want to remove, and then use the “Bulk actions” menu to select “Delete variants” and confirm the action.

Once you have removed the unnecessary variants, you should be able to save the product and see the correct number of variants on your product page.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

But which ones do I remove? I really can’t remove them because it’s an option for the wall outlet so people from anywhere around the world can order.

But the thing is, on Aliexpress there isn’t an option to choose from this. How come? There you just choose length, when i import it you need to choose length and an outlet version. That’s whats causing all the variants. I just don’t know which ones to remove.
