Step 1 – Install Variantify

Install Variantify from the Shopify App Store:

👉 https://apps.shopify.com/variantify

Once installed, the app will appear in your Shopify admin.

Install Variantify

Step 2 – Enable the App Embed (Required)

Variantify requires the app embed to be enabled to display variants.

Go to Online Store → Themes
Click Customize on your published theme
Open Theme settings
Go to App embeds
Enable Variantify
Click Save ${youtube}Enable Variantify in App embeds

Step 3 – Activate variant display on a collection

Installing the app is not enough.
You must enable variant display per collection.

Open Variantify in your Shopify admin
Select a collection
Toggle Variant Display → ON

Your variants will now appear as separate products on that collection.

Not working?

If variants still don’t appear:

Make sure the App Embed is ON
Make sure Variant Display is ON for the collection
Check that all products use the same option name (e.g. “Color”, not “Colour”)

Question 2

Why my variants don’t appear on collection pages

Accepted Answer

If your variants don’t appear as separate products on your collection pages, don’t worry. In most cases, it’s caused by a missing setting.

Follow this checklist step by step 👇

Step 1 – Make sure the App Embed is enabled

Variantify cannot work if the app embed is disabled.

Go to Online Store → Themes
Click Customize on your published theme
Open Theme settings
Go to App embeds
Make sure Variantify is ON
Click Save

👉 This is the most common issue.

Step 2 – Enable variant display on the collection

Installing Variantify is not enough. You must activate variant display per collection.

Open Variantify in your Shopify admin
Go to Collections and find the collection in the list
Toggle Variant Display → ON

If this toggle is OFF, variants will not appear.

Step 3 – Check the split option (very important)

You must select a split option for the collection

In the collection settings:

Choose an option to split variants
Example: Color

If no split option is selected, variants cannot be displayed as separate products.

||| Option names must match exactly (same spelling, same language). If option names are different or missing variants cannot be split correctly. ||| ✅ Correct configuration :

Split option selected is "Color" All products
