How to Split Variants in Shopify and DSers

Managing product variants effectively is essential for a streamlined eCommerce operation. Whether you're organizing your Shopify store or splitting product variants in DSers to optimize order fulfillment, here's a step-by-step guide to get it done.


Why Split Variants?

Splitting variants can help you:

  • Customize product listings to target different audiences.

  • Simplify inventory management by handling each variant individually.

  • Create better marketing opportunities for high-performing variants.


How to Split Variants in Shopify

Shopify doesn't have a built-in feature for splitting variants into separate products, but you can achieve it manually.

Steps to Split Variants in Shopify:

  1. Log into Your Shopify Admin
    Navigate to the Products tab from the left-hand menu.

  2. Duplicate the Product

    • Select the product containing the variants you want to split.

    • Click the Duplicate button at the top right.

  3. Edit the Variants

    • Open the duplicated product.

    • Delete all variants except the one you want to keep.

      • Go to the Variants section, click the trash icon beside the ones you don't need.

    • Adjust the product name, description, and images to match the specific variant.

  4. Repeat for Other Variants

    • Duplicate the original product again for each variant you want to split.

    • Repeat Step 3 for each duplicate.

  5. Save Changes

    • Ensure each product is unique and accurately represents the variant.


How to Split Variants in DSers

DSers simplifies the process with a dedicated feature for splitting variants into individual products for better fulfillment flexibility.

Steps to Split Variants in DSers:

  1. Log into Your DSers Account
    Access your account and navigate to the My Products section.

  2. Select the Product to Split

    • Locate the product with multiple variants you want to separate.

    • Click on the product to open its details.

  3. Split Variants

    • Look for the Split Variant option in the product settings.

    • Choose the variants you want to split into individual products.

  4. Confirm the Split

    • Review the variants and ensure the correct ones are selected.

    • Click Confirm or Split to finalize the process.

    • DSers will automatically create separate product listings for each selected variant.

  5. Sync with Shopify

    • DSers will sync the split products back to Shopify.

    • Verify that each variant is listed as a standalone product in your Shopify store.
