How to exceed the 100 product variation limit on my first store?

English Shopify Shopify Design
1

Hello everyone, I am creating my first store on Shopify and trying to find a solution to solve the 100 product variation limit.

I need to create variations of Size, Type, Fabric Type, and multiple Fabric colors in each fabric type.

Size:

  • Size 1

  • Size 2

  • Size 3

  • Size 4

  • Size 5

Type:

  • Type 1

  • Type 2

Fabric type:

  • Fabric 1

  • Fabric 2

  • Fabric 3

  • Fabric 4

Fabric 1:

4 colours

Fabric 2:

15 colours

Fabric 3:

9 Colours

Fabric 4:

9 colours

I have found many apps that I can use to add fabrics as product options instead of variation as fabrics will not affect the product cost.

But I also want to show these combinations as separate products on collection pages and in filters as well.

Is there any way to achieve this?

I will appreciate your ideas.

Regards,

Ahmar

Hey Ahmar,

It sounds like you kind of already answered your own question! :slightly_smiling_face:

Solution #1: Use a product option app (https://apps.shopify.com/search?q=product%20options) to support more than 100 variants.

Solution #2: Create a unique product for each possible combination, and then list them all within a collection page.

Adding products manually (easy) - https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/add-update-products

Adding products via CSV (hard) - https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/import-export/import-products

Creating collections - https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/collections

As far as I’m aware, there isn’t an app that would automatically convert/turn your ‘custom product options’ into individual products to show on collection pages. That would be quite messy, and isn’t going to be the way most merchants want to handle things.

Hope the above helps!

Cheers,

Stephen
