Group by title pattern

Automatically detect and create product groups from title patterns like 'Summer Tee - Red'.

If your catalog names variations consistently — Summer Tee - Red, Summer Tee - Blue, Summer Tee - Green — the app can detect the shared base name and create single-option groups for you, in bulk.

Titles are split at the separator into base name and value, and matching products become groups — Titles are split at your separator — matching products become groups you review before creating.

Start it from Groups → Create group → Group by title pattern (in the Group by a rule row), then click Continue.

Step 1 — Configure detection

Title pattern detection settings form with the How it works panel — Configure how Combined Listings should detect groups from your product titles.

Setting	What it does
Separator	The character(s) that split a title into base name + option value (e.g. `-` in `Summer Tee - Red`).
Option name	The option created for every detected group (e.g. `Color`). You can rename it per group during review.
Minimum group size	Groups with fewer matching products are skipped.
Product filters	Optionally limit detection by product status (Any / Active / Draft), collection, or vendor.

Click Analyze products to run detection. Analysis reads your catalog directly — nothing is created yet.

Step 2 — Review detected groups

Review list showing detected groups across multiple products — Review every detected group before creating them in bulk.

For each detected group you can:

Select or deselect which groups get created.
Rename the group’s option.
Pick its Appearance for On product page and On product card — the same style picker as the group editor — and check the Storefront preview.
Exclude a wrongly matched product (and add it back).

Choose Create groups as Active or Draft at the top of the review. A banner below the list explains why products were left out — no matching pattern, or already in another group.

Step 3 — Create

Click Create N groups. Progress runs through: Matching products by title → Creating groups → Applying the option → Publishing to your storefront.

Step 4 — Done

A summary shows how many groups were created and their statuses, with shortcuts to Customize appearance and View product groups.

Completion screen with created-group statistics — A summary of every group created and its status.

Group by tag — when your tags identify each product family.
Group with AI — when titles don’t follow one pattern.
