Why my variants don’t appear on collection pages

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.

1. Go to Online Store → Themes
2. Click Customize on your published theme
3. Open Theme settings
4. Go to App embeds
5. Make sure Variantify is ON
6. 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.

1. Open Variantify in your Shopify admin
2. Go to Collections and find the collection in the list
3. 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.

If option names are different or missing variants cannot be split correctly.

✅ Correct configuration :

Split option selected is "Color"

All products use "Color"

❌ Incorrect configuration :

Some products use "Color"

Others use Colour

Or products don’t have this option at all

Step 4 – Refresh your collection page

After saving changes:

• Refresh the collection page
• Or open it in a private / incognito window

Sometimes Shopify cache delays visual updates.
