Product Updates & Release Notes

Earlier, MultiVariants 2.0.1 was rolled out as a beta version to a small group of selected stores to test the new App Embed–based loading system. During this testing phase, we identified and resolved a few issues to ensure everything works smoothly.

Why it matters:
After fixing the reported issues, MultiVariants 2.0.1 is now fully released for all stores. Merchants can now benefit from a more stable, future-ready integration that aligns with Shopify’s move away from script tags toward the App Embed system.

e’re excited to share that MultiVariants has officially received the Built for Shopify badge. This recognition is awarded to apps that meet Shopify’s highest standards for performance, security, reliability, and user experience.

Why it matters:
The Built for Shopify badge signals that MultiVariants delivers a fast, reliable, and well-integrated experience within the Shopify ecosystem. Merchants can install and use the app with confidence, knowing it meets Shopify’s strict quality benchmarks.

MultiVariants now supports loading through Shopify’s App Embed instead of relying on script tags. As Shopify gradually phases out script tag–based app loading, we’ve updated the app to follow the new recommended approach. This change is part of the MultiVariants 2.0.1 beta release, which is currently being rolled out to a few selected stores for testing before a wider release.

Why it matters:
Adapting to Shopify’s App Embed requirement ensures MultiVariants stays compatible with upcoming Shopify platform changes. The beta rollout allows us to test the update in real store environments first, helping ensure a smooth and stable experience before it becomes available to all merchants.

We identified and fixed an issue where MultiVariants was not properly loading product variant images on the product page in certain cases. This update ensures that variant images now load correctly when customers browse and select product options.

Why it matters:
Variant images help customers clearly see the product options they are selecting. Fixing this issue ensures a smoother shopping experience and prevents confusion when customers switch between variants on the product page.

We’ve introduced a guided setup section on the MultiVariants dashboard to make the installation and setup process easier for new merchants. The dashboard now shows a step-by-step checklist with clear instructions and action buttons. Merchants can quickly complete key steps such as installing the app, enabling the App Embed, choosing a subscription plan, and creating their first ruleset.

Why it matters:
The guided setup removes confusion during onboarding and helps merchants get MultiVariants running faster. With clear steps and CTA buttons directly on the dashboard, merchants can complete the setup quickly and start seeing their variant options and bulk ordering features live on their store.

We’ve added a new FAQ section directly to the MultiVariants dashboard. This section provides quick answers to common questions and helpful guidance for merchants while they use the app.

Why it matters:
Merchants can now quickly find answers without leaving the app or searching through external help articles. This makes it easier to understand features, resolve common questions faster, and use MultiVariants more effectively.

Previously, MultiVariants displayed all rulesets created by merchants in one long list. As stores grow and more rulesets are added, this list could become difficult to navigate. We’ve now introduced pagination to organize and display rulesets in manageable sections.

Why it matters:
Pagination makes it easier to browse, locate, and manage rulesets without scrolling through a very long page. This improves usability and helps merchants work more efficiently when handling multiple rulesets in MultiVariants.

We’ve updated the MultiVariants admin interface to align with Shopify’s latest UI framework, moving from Polaris-based components to Shopify Web Components. This change modernizes the admin experience and brings the app interface closer to Shopify’s current design standards.

Why it matters:
By adopting Shopify Web Components, the admin dashboard now feels more consistent with the Shopify environment. It also improves UI performance, responsiveness, and overall smoothness when navigating and managing variant settings inside the app.

We’ve improved the overall optimization of MultiVariants to make the app faster and more efficient across the app admin and storefront. These improvements reduce unnecessary processing and streamline how the app loads and runs, resulting in a smoother experience for merchants and their customers.

Why it matters:
A more optimized app means faster loading, better stability, and improved performance when merchants manage variant options and bulk ordering features. It also ensures customers experience quicker page responses when selecting variants and placing orders on the storefront.

Some of the users were facing checkout function error when the order contains more than 75 items. The issue has been fixed promptly.

We’ve expanded our admin panel’s language support to make managing your store even more accessible around the world! In addition to English (en), German (de), and Italian (it), we’ve added 12 new localized languages:

• Dansk (da)

• Spanish (es)

• French (fr)

• Japanese (jp)

• Korean (ko)

• Norwegian (nb)

• Dutch (nl)

• Portuguese – Brazil (pt-BR)

• Thai (th)

• Turkish (tr)

• Chinese Simplified (zh-CN)

• Chinese Traditional (zh-TW)

Now, Shopify merchants and teams can manage MultiVariants more comfortably in their native languages. It will automatically display the localized language based on your account language.

MultiVariants introduced a new feature Mix and Match: Multiple bundle. This allows merchants to create a virtual box where customers can purchase a product in a fixed quantity, but they can choose different variants. In addition, MultiVariants integrated Shopify’s bundle API. It helps to display the selected items on the cart page under a single line item. Customers can also now purchase multiple boxes from the cart page.

Checkout validation applies rules and checks to ensure orders meet the criteria you’ve defined in MultiVariants before customers can complete their purchase. This includes express checkouts, such as Shop Pay, PayPal, Google Pay, and Apple Pay.

Features highlight:

• Integration with DiscountRay:  A much-awaited integration to offer bulk order discounts with MultiVariants. Now, Shopify merchants can offer quantity discounts, volume discounts, or tier discounts for large quantity orders. Customers can live view their discounted price right on the product page while selecting their mix and match variants or bulk quantity. Thanks to the DiscountRay – Volume discount app for powering MultiVariants.

Features highlight:

• German translation added: Now, German merchants can manage MultiVariants in their local language.
• Italian translation added: Now, Italian merchants can manage MultiVariants in their local language.
