Group types

Every group answers one question: how do your products differ from each other? Match your catalog to one of the pictures below.

Not sure? Start with Group by single option — it fits most stores. You can always create other groups later.

Group by single option

One thing changes between your products — like Color.

Three separate color products → one listing with a Color picker.

• You have: Summer Tee — Red, Summer Tee — Blue, Summer Tee — Green (3 products).
• Shoppers see: one Summer Tee listing with a Color picker. Picking a color opens that product.
• Rule of thumb: each value = exactly one product.

Also fits: scents, materials, pack sizes, patterns — any single dimension.

→ Create a single-option group

Group by multiple options

Two or more things change — like Color and Size — and you have one product per combination.

One product per combination → one listing with two pickers.

• You have: Hoodie Black/M, Black/L, White/M, White/L (4 products).
• Shoppers see: one Hoodie listing with two pickers — pick Color, then Size, separately.
• Rule of thumb: each combination = one product. You connect them in the Match variants to products step.

→ Create a multiple-options group

Group as a single choice

Each product is a complete package — shoppers pick once, nothing to mix and match.

Fixed bundles → one listing with a single picker.

• You have: Starter set and Deluxe set — each a fixed bundle sold as-is.
• Shoppers see: one listing with a single picker: Starter set · Deluxe set.
• Rule of thumb: one pick = one product. Choices never combine with each other.

Also fits: products that differ by more than one thing but you’d rather show as one list than two pickers — each choice already bundles every option together, like a single Color-and-Size pairing.

→ Create a single-choice group

Group by title pattern (automatic)

Not a fourth type — a shortcut. If your titles follow a pattern like Summer Tee - Red, the app detects the groups and creates them for you as single-option groups.

Titles share a pattern → groups are detected and created for you.

Best when you have many products to group at once. See Group by title pattern.

Group by tag (automatic)

Also a shortcut. If your products carry a tag that names their family (style-1234), the app creates one group per tag — and can combine several tags, such as a series tag plus a hair-type tag. See Group by tag.

Group with AI (automatic)

AI reads your titles, tags and vendors and suggests the groups — even when titles are written in different ways. It can suggest single-option groups or, when products come in every mix of two options, multiple-options groups. You review every suggestion before anything is created. See Group with AI.

Still unsure? Answer one question

What changes between your products?

Answer	Pick
One thing (color, scent, size…)	Group by single option
Two or more things, picked one at a time (color, then size)	Group by multiple options
Nothing “combines” — each product is its own fixed package	Group as a single choice
One thing, and it’s already written in the titles of many products	Group by title pattern
Many products, and a tag already names each family	Group by tag
Many products, but titles and tags are inconsistent	Group with AI

The type is chosen when you create the group and can’t be changed afterwards — but groups are quick to delete and recreate, and your products are never affected.
