Shopify Combined Listings

The app is ok but comes with quite a few Incompatibility considerations as listed on shopify support pages.

Main issue is not being able to display product bundles on combined listings which would have been a primary use for this app. So if we want to sell multi-packs on the same product page where it makes sense, then we can't.

I am using this with the Trade theme, which allows purchasing of multiple variants (e.g., sizes) on the same screen. To my delight, it worked great! It could be easier to use, but the functionality is pretty well integrated both in the product setup and the website product screen.

There are a few caveats that made it a lot more work than it needs be. That's why a 4 instead of a 5. These include:

- 1. No import or export. You have to set up each combined listing manually, which is hundreds for me
- 2. No multi-select (e.g., Shift select or select all) when searching products. So if you want to include 30 products, you have to individually click 30 times.
- 3. Only works on Shopify metaobjects groups (like Color and Size). I had those already set up as Metafields on the product but that's off limits for grouping. It meant a lot of time setting up new colors and products and mapping them the "base" color/size in Shopify. (On the plus side, this will probably have positive benefits with Google and other SEO.)
- 4. Analytics. I don't think there is anything in the way of combined analytics, though candidly I haven't looked too deep yet so I may be premature in that concern.

Great tool for listings with multiple colors, sizes, etc.
