Shopify Combined Listings

Fine App but not fully bug free. One thing is especially annoying: reordering variants will change the order of the options but not the value of selected_or_first_available_variant.
This means changing the order does not affect which product is shown in collections and preselects the option that is not at the first index.

We had to implement an expensive lookup technique based on the option order which is not ideal, especially on collections where this can add up quickly.

This also contradicts the Shopify API changes for high variant products, since this lookup only works with the first 250 variants. It also makes our code way harder to maintain.

I would love to see this fixed. This would solve all our issues with the app.

The idea behind this app is great, but unfortunately it isn’t usable in reality. When using Combined Listings, the color filter on collection pages stops working because child products cannot contain a color option — the app generates the color variant only at the parent level. Shopify’s filters don’t recognize these parent-created options, making a key shop function essentially useless. In its current state, the app can’t be used for a real storefront.

The idea behind the app is good but it has a long away to go. If you have mens and womens version of the same products you have to combined descriptions, images and key features even though they will differ. It will be better if the toggle reloads the existing combined product page with the unique images and copy
