Merging products allows you to group similar items (for example, different colors of the same style) into one parent listing. This helps keep your product catalog organized and ensures that variants, descriptions, and images are consolidated under a single product.
Follow the steps below to merge products in your catalog.
Step 1: Select the Products You Want to Merge
Go to your Product Catalog.
Select the two (or more) products you want to merge.
Note: Make sure the products are variants of the same item (e.g., Red Sandal and Blue Sandal bag ) before merging.
Step 2: Choose a Parent Product
Click on Bulk Actions → Merge Product.
-
Select which product will be the Parent.
The parent product retains all its information (title, description, pictures, variants and structure)
The other product(s) will contribute their variants and images to the parent.
Step 3: Review the Preview
A Preview screen will display the result of the merge.
-
You cannot edit at this stage, it’s just to confirm the outcome.
Example: The Red Sandal (parent) keeps all it's original information, while the images and variants from the Blue Sandal are copied into the Red Sandal.
Step 4: Confirm the Merge
Click Merge.
Confirm when prompted.
-
You’ll be redirected to the merged product page, where you’ll see:
Images from the child product(s) added to the parent.
Variants from the child product (s) added to the parent product Varients .
A label beside the product name saying “Merged Product” to indicate the merge was successful.
Step 5: Post-Merge Adjustments
Update the Product Title if needed (for example, so it reflects the multiple colorways).
-
Your Shopify integration will continue to automatically sync:
Inventory for all the variants.
Pricing if enabled.
Tip: No action is required in Shopify, everything will sync directly from The Folklore.
Example
Before merge:
Red Sundow ( image, + variants)
Blue Sundow (images + variants)
After merge:
Red Sundow (now contains Red + Blue images and variants)
