ISO: Master Price Update Solution (using a Master Product to update prices in other Products)

Shopify Discussion

TLDR: Is there a way to use a shopify Product as a Master Product that can trigger bulk updates to other products?

Use case:

I have hundreds of products that are of the same type and have the same variant structure. These variant types are: Size and Style

Example Product Variants:
Size: 3X Large
Style: Long Sleeve

Note: These are just an example. The actual variants have hundreds of potential combinations. While not every product contains all sizes or styles, the variants are used through all the products.

I want to have a single location where I can automatically update the prices for each variant across all products of the same type.

Possible solutions…

App Dilemma:

After looking at several third-party apps it appears I would have to create a rule for each separate variant. This is not ideal because there are hundreds of variant combinations.

Master Product Sync?

Is there a way to use apps, Shopify Flow, or a combination thereof, to create a Parent/Child Product relationship between all the same type Products and a Master Product, where anytime a Variant Price is updated on the “Parent” Product, the matching variant is updated across all “Child” Products?

Here’s a hacky doodle/diagram to illustrate:

How would you go about this? Is there another method I haven’t considered?

Thanks for your help!

I should be able to build a workflow with our app mesa to do this. Might even make sense to manage everything in a google sheet and have the workflow pull everything into shopify.
