Sometimes, you may need to split products with multiple variants into separate products. Although Shopify is designed for products to have several variants, there are limits to the number of permutations each product can have. Therefore, you might need to a product with variants into separate products. 

For example, let’s say you sell shoes that are available in different colors and different sizes. Currently, the shoe is one product, and the customer chooses their size and color preferences. However, you have now decided you want to create a separate product for each color of shoe, with “size” being the only variant. Here’s how you can do that: 

1. Select all of the products you want to split, and create an import list in Shopify. 

2. Once you have your list, identify the specific products that will be split. Select the “split product” option. 

3. Next, select the variant you want to split. In the example above, the variant selected would be “color”. 

4. Finally, click “split to products”. New products will be created, and unused variants will be disabled (not deleted) and can be enabled at any time.
