Merging POD company products

Shopify Discussion
1

Hello,

I know merging is possible, but I think that merging the POD products complicates the problem.

Am I right?

For example, I have three rugs - round, runner and rectangle rugs.

Their colors don’t matter. Only their shape and size matter.

These products are imported from the Print on Demand Company (PrintKK) dashboard, and it is not possible to merge them there because according to their rules, all designs must belong to the same product to be merged. So, I can only import these 3 designs as 3 different products.

So how can I combine these 3 products in Shopify so that I don’t lose their connection to POD dashboard, so that the company can accept and fulfil the order?

Hi @Merkucio ,

The Easify Product Options app can help solve your issue with its Option URL feature, which links distinct products generated by POD apps while keeping them separate for processing :blush: . This allows for a seamless browsing experience for customers without interfering with how your POD app manages each product.

Specifically, you can use the app to create a Color option displayed as an Image Swatch. By enabling the Option URL feature, clicking on a color option will redirect customers to the corresponding rug in that color. At the same time, the rug’s shape and size (Shopify variants) generated by the POD app will remain intact.

Here’s an example:

  • Product pages:

  • App settings:

If you only have a few products, you can manually set up the links in the app. However, if you have a large number of products, you should reach out to the Easify team for guidance on the best setup approach.

Hi @Easify-Mark

Thanks for your reply. The app looks very impressive. I already installed the free version to test it. Colors don’t matter to me at this moment. Later, maybe.

What I need now is Shapes and Sizes. Where can I find a tutorial on how to combine two products and setup their shapes and sizes using this app?

Sizes are already imported from POD dashboard for both products. So now I should add shapes using this App.

I think the solution is to create buttons? But I’m not sure how to link shape buttons to the products, etc.
