Shopify Combined Listings

Fine App but not fully bug free. One thing is especially annoying: reordering variants will change the order of the options but not the value of selected_or_first_available_variant. This means changing the order does not affect which product is shown in collections and preselects the option that is not at the first index. We had to implement an expensive lookup technique based on the option order which is not ideal, especially on collections where this can add up quickly. This also contradicts the Shopify API changes for high variant products, since this lookup only works with the first 250 variants. It also makes our code way harder to maintain. I would love to see this fixed. This would solve all our issues with the app.

The idea behind the app is good but it has a long away to go. If you have mens and womens version of the same products you have to combined descriptions, images and key features even though they will differ. It will be better if the toggle reloads the existing combined product page with the unique images and copy

The idea behind this app is great, but unfortunately it isn’t usable in reality. When using Combined Listings, the color filter on collection pages stops working because child products cannot contain a color option — the app generates the color variant only at the parent level. Shopify’s filters don’t recognize these parent-created options, making a key shop function essentially useless. In its current state, the app can’t be used for a real storefront.

not easy to use

Very helpful for large variants. May not work with other apps.

Great tool for listings with multiple colors, sizes, etc.

The app is ok but comes with quite a few Incompatibility considerations as listed on shopify support pages. Main issue is not being able to display product bundles on combined listings which would have been a primary use for this app. So if we want to sell multi-packs on the same product page where it makes sense, then we can't.

I am using this with the Trade theme, which allows purchasing of multiple variants (e.g., sizes) on the same screen. To my delight, it worked great! It could be easier to use, but the functionality is pretty well integrated both in the product setup and the website product screen. There are a few caveats that made it a lot more work than it needs be. That's why a 4 instead of a 5. These include: - 1. No import or export. You have to set up each combined listing manually, which is hundreds for me - 2. No multi-select (e.g., Shift select or select all) when searching products. So if you want to include 30 products, you have to individually click 30 times. - 3. Only works on Shopify metaobjects groups (like Color and Size). I had those already set up as Metafields on the product but that's off limits for grouping. It meant a lot of time setting up new colors and products and mapping them the "base" color/size in Shopify. (On the plus side, this will probably have positive benefits with Google and other SEO.) - 4. Analytics. I don't think there is anything in the way of combined analytics, though candidly I haven't looked too deep yet so I may be premature in that concern.

Have not been able to get this to work, not for lack of trying. Very disappointed!
