📖 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?
For example: a product has one option, color, and the option comes with 8 different variants, including 4 shades of blue and 4 shades of green. In the filter for colors on your storefront, you want to help your customers narrow down their product search faster with only 2 options of color, which are blue and green. In this case, our app can help you merge values to have a filter like the following picture:
The feature allows you to merge tag values and values used to set up Product Type/Vendor/Title/Height/Size/Color filter options. Follow this visual guide to merge the choice values.
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 Sync
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 > Manage 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
