Your Secret Weapon: The Stamp Variants on Collection App
We’ll be using a dedicated Shopify app to handle everything seamlessly from your admin. No developers, no code editors, just point-and-click power.
Step-by-Step: How to Display Variants Separately in 5 Minutes
Step 1: Install the App
Head to the Shopify App Store and search for “Stamp Variants on Collection.” Click Install. They offer a free plan to start, so you can test it risk-free on your store.
Step 2: Activate on Your Theme
After installation, open the app. You’ll see a dashboard. The first step is to click the “Enable” button to activate it on your current live theme. A quick confirmation message will appear once it’s successfully embedded.
Step 3: Flip the Main Switch
Navigate to “General Settings.” Here, you’ll find the magic toggle: “Show variants in collection.” Switch it ON and hit Save. Boom—the core functionality is now live.
Step 4: Watch the Magic Happen (Live Demo)
Go to one of your Shopify collection pages and refresh it. You should now see each variant (like “Black,” “Blue,” “Large,” “Small”) displayed as a separate, individual product card. Click on one—it will take you directly to the product page with that exact variant pre-selected. No more default variant frustration!
Step 5: Customize & Advanced Control (Optional but Powerful)
Go back to the app settings to fine-tune:
- Target Specific Collections: Don’t want this on all collections? Use the selector to choose exactly where it appears.
- Choose Your Variant Option: Decide if you want to separate by Color, Size, or any other option from your dropdown.
- Format Titles: Customize how each variant product title appears (e.g., “Classic T-Shirt – Navy”).
- Use Powerful Filters (Advanced Plan): Show only specific variants. For example, display only the “Black” color variants across an entire collection to create a curated look.
Pro-Tip: Beyond the Basics
The app also lets you:
- Hide out-of-stock variants automatically.
- Add “Add to Cart” buttons directly on the collection page.
- Enable infinite scroll for better browsing.
- Add custom CSS via their API for pixel-perfect design control (for the tech-savvy).
