📖 By default, for each product, Shopify allows users to create a maximum of 3 variant options and the total number of variants can be up to 100 variants.
What is a merged value?
A merged value lets you show one filter option that represents several underlying values.
Example: your product has 8 color variants (4 blues, 4 greens). In the Color filter, you merge the blues into Blue and the greens into Green so shoppers choose between two options, not eight.
To merge values
Step 1: Merge values
From the app’s dashboard, go to Filter > Merge values
Click Add merged value
Select Type/Vendor/Title/Height/Size/Color/Tag in the Type drop-down list
In the Merged value section, choose +Add new merged value
Under the Merged value heading, enter the phrase into which you are about to merge some values. In the example above, you can enter Blue
Under the Current values heading, select the corresponding values that you want to be merged into the values you have created above
For example, you can choose Navy, Turquoise, Teal, and Sapphire.
💡 One value can only be merged into one new value. In the example above, our app cannot merge Navy into Green when you have already merged it into Blue.

Step 2: Sync data
From the app’s dashboard, go to Settings > Sync overview
From the Select a sync type drop-down, select Sync recent updates and click Sync recent updates. This will help you properly update the merged values on the storefront
Step 3: Update new values when setting up filter options.
From the app’s dashboard, go to Filter > Filter trees
Click the filter tree which has the filter option that you may want to update its values
From the drop-down of Option values:
If you select All values, no modification has to be made
If you select Manual, you can add new values and remove values that have been merged into new ones. In the example above, you can remove Navy, Turquoise, Teal, and Sapphire, and add Blue
Remember to Save on both the Edit filter option and Filter options pages
Go to your storefront and check the new filter values
