Before you manage or split variants

  • Open the exact supplier product page you want to import.

  • Check the available options, such as color, size, capacity, or bundle.

  • Confirm the supplier price and images for every variant you plan to sell.

  • Decide whether shoppers should choose an option on one product page or visit a separate page for each option.

Variant Splitting is available on every Importify plan for Shopify, Wix, WooCommerce, and Jumpseller. It is not available for BigCommerce.

What does Import All Images do?

The Import All Images setting controls the gallery on the products created by Variant Splitting:

  • Off: each split product receives the images associated with its own variant.

  • On: every split product receives the full image gallery from the supplier listing.

Check the storefront after importing. Supplier image assignments can be inconsistent, so remove any image that shows the wrong color or option.
