Feature
Variants and images
Sizes and colours from the feed become Shopify variants with their own SKU, barcode, price and stock, and product and variant images are attached automatically.
- One option axis: size, colour or any attribute
- Per-variant SKU, barcode, price and quantity
- Variant images where the feed has them
- Weight per variant
Variants that match your supplier's stock
A fashion or footwear feed usually lists the same article several times, once per size or colour. The app groups these into one Shopify product and creates a variant for each entry, keeping the supplier's SKU and barcode on the variant so later stock updates land on the right one. Prices can differ per variant, which is common for plus sizes or premium colours.
Images
Product images from the feed become the product's media in order. When the feed assigns an image to a specific variant, for example a photo per colour, the app attaches it to that variant so the storefront swatches switch images correctly.
Weight and shipping
Where the feed provides a weight, it is written to each variant's inventory item so Shopify shipping rates can use it.
Keeping variants current
On every scheduled run the app matches variants by SKU and updates price, compare-at price and quantity. New variants that appear in the feed are added to the existing product; variants that disappear go to zero stock rather than being deleted.
Frequently asked questions
How are variants recognised in the XML?
Either as nested elements under the product, or as separate items that share a parent identifier. Both shapes are detected automatically and result in one Shopify product with several variants.
Can a product have both size and colour?
The app works with one option axis per product. When a feed carries size and colour, the two values are joined into one option value such as 'Navy / M' so that every combination still gets its own variant, SKU and stock.
What about image formats and hosting?
Images are fetched from the URLs in the feed by Shopify itself, so JPEG, PNG and WebP work and the files end up on Shopify's CDN. Broken or unreachable URLs are skipped without failing the product.
