# How to install and activate Variantify

# 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.

# Step 2 – Enable the App Embed (Required)

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

1. Go to **Online Store → Themes**
2. Click **Customize** on your published theme
3. Open **Theme settings**
4. Go to **App embeds**
5. Enable **Variantify**
6. Click **Save**

# Step 3 – Activate variant display on a collection

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



1. Open **Variantify** in your Shopify admin
2. Select a collection
3. 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”)
