A user wants to link product variants (e.g., different colored shoes) so that clicking a variant opens its own dedicated product page, rather than staying on a single product page with variant selectors.
Proposed Solutions:
Product Colors app: Recommended for linking products of different colors using swatches, allowing each color to exist as a distinct product while appearing connected.
Simple Material app: Originally designed for raw material inventory, but can repurpose variants into standalone products while keeping inventory synced between the variant and its product page.
Manual implementation: One user suggests this can be achieved without apps by following a YouTube tutorial.
Additional Questions:
A follow-up question asks whether these solutions work for dropshipping scenarios where products come from different suppliers but need to be combined into one product listing with automated fulfillment. This remains unanswered.
The original poster expressed gratitude for the initial app recommendation.
Hi. Is it possible to add a product as a variant in another product?
Suppose we a shoe with three different colors (red, black and blue). But when we click on the red shoe variant it will open the red color shoe product.
So basically i want to add a product as a variant like this: https://outfitters.com.pk/products/f0014-101-903?variant=41170773639359
Hi @imarsaal
What you would need is this app: Product Colors - Link your products of different colors using swatches. | Shopify App Store
Where variants can be combined on one page but each are distinct and in other products. Let me know if I got your idea correctly here.
Cheers!
Thank you so much. Have a great day.
Hi @imarsaal ,
In Shopify, variants can have their own prices and unique SKU / Barcode. So in a sense, these are separate products. No worries. If you wish to link a variant of a product and have its own standalone page, you can use the app - Simple Material
The app was intended to create inventory systems for raw materials but you can repurpose it so that it will make a variant into another product. The best thing with this is that it will treat the product inventory of the variant - product as one. So they will be synced. I hope this helps.
