How to add a new top level variant to hundreds of products quickly?

Topic summary

A merchant needs to add a new top-level variant called “Depth” (with 2 options) to hundreds of products that already have existing variant structures (4 style options and 5 size options). They’re seeking an efficient method to avoid manually updating each product.

Proposed Solutions:

  • Shopify Flow: One user suggests using Shopify Flow app to automate the process, though the workflow would need to be built custom for this use case.

  • Easify Product Options: Another recommends using this third-party app, which offers:

    • Multi-level conditional logic for dynamic option display
    • Ability to create structured variant flows (selecting Option A reveals B and C, etc.)
    • Bulk application to multiple products simultaneously
    • Visual examples show how conditional logic can create cascading option selections

The discussion remains open with no confirmed resolution yet. Both solutions require either custom setup or learning a new app interface.

I have hundreds of products that already have 4 main variants, with 5 sub-variants (style, and size). I want to add a top-level variant to this group of variants but this seems like an incredibly tedious task. I essentially want to add a first variant that will be called Depth with 2 options, then there will be the regular 4 style options under that, and 5 size options under that.

I have no idea how to do this efficiently for hundreds of products?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi @stickersauce43

you can easily achieve this using shopify flow app

although you have to built the flow yourself

if you can give me access to your store I will help you setup the flow and solve this for you

Hi @stickersauce43

To set this up efficiently, Easify Product Options lets you use multi-level conditional logic, which adjusts options dynamically based on previous selections. This app allows you to create a structured flow—for example, selecting Option A reveals Options B and C, and choosing Option C then shows Options D and E. This keeps the selection process smooth and organized. Here’s a simple example:

  • This is the result

  • This is the app setting

This is the conditional logic setting, ‘Gift Selection’ only show up when the ‘Make it a gift’ is selected

And the ‘Select A Card’ show up when ‘Card’ in Gift Selection is chosen.

You can apply this option set to multiple products at once, saving you time, especially if you have many products.

You’ll find this app easy to use, so I hope you give it a try. If you need assistance, just let me know or reach out to Easify! :hugs:
