Manage and undo splits

Every split you run is recorded so you can check on it, retry parts that failed, or undo it entirely.

Batches

Each time you split a set of products, the app groups that run into a batch. Open View batches from the Split products page to see them.

Every split run, with its status and how many products it created.

A batch moves through these states:

Badge	Meaning
Queued	Waiting for an earlier batch to finish — splits run one at a time.
**Splitting n/**N	In progress, with a live count of finished products.
Split	Completed successfully.
n** failed**	Completed, but some products didn’t split.
Canceled	Stopped before finishing.

Until a batch runs, its New products figure is an estimate based on your products’ options. Once a batch finishes with nothing failed, the figure becomes exactly what it created; a batch with failures keeps the estimate, so you can see the shortfall.

From a finished batch you can:

• Re-run failed — try again on just the products that didn’t succeed.
• Remove from history — clear the batch record. This only removes the entry from this list; the products it created are not deleted.

Retry a single product

If one product shows Failed on the Split products list, click Retry on its row to run just that one again. Failures are usually temporary (for example, a brief hiccup talking to Shopify), and a retry normally clears them.

When a product can’t be split

Some products are turned down on purpose rather than failing halfway. Nothing is created and your original is left exactly as it was, so retrying as-is won’t help — the message on the row tells you which case it is:

Message	What it means	What to do
Nothing to split — Color has only one value on this product.	The options you chose in Split by have just one combination here, so splitting would only make a copy of the product.	Split this product by an option it actually varies on, or leave it as it is.
Too many variants for one new product.	You split by so few options that one new product would have to carry a very large number of variants.	Tick more options in Split by so the variants spread across more products.
Already split in another batch.	This product was split by an earlier batch that’s still on your list.	Revert that split first if you want to redo it differently.

A refused product never blocks the rest of the batch — everything else in the run still splits.

Revert a split

Changed your mind? You can completely undo a finished split. On the Split products list, open the row’s actions and choose Revert.

Revert spells out exactly what will be deleted and restored before you confirm.

Reverting a split will:

1. Delete the products it created — permanently.
2. Remove the combined-listing group it built.
3. Restore the original product to the exact status it had before (Active or Draft), so it’s ready to split again.

Reverting can’t be undone. The products the split created are permanently deleted. Your original product is always safe — it’s restored, not removed — and can be split again afterwards.

The row is kept as a Reverted record for your history, and the original product becomes available in the picker again immediately.

Only finished splits (status Split) can be reverted. If a split is still running, cancel or let it finish first.
