Managing Variants in Shopify

  • Add Variants
  • Remove Variants

Access your product in Shopify admin
2
Click “Add Variant” in the variants section

Enter variant details:
  • Title (grind type)
  • Price
  • SKU (critically important)
  • Select “Roastify” for inventory
Adding a new variant
SKU Format Requirements:
  • Use uppercase letters
  • Include dashes between parts
  • Follow the pattern: COF-GND-12O-RCK-BOX or COF-WHB-12O-RCK-BOX
  • GND = Ground, WHB = Whole Bean
While Roastify maintains variant records, you can modify how they appear in your Shopify store. For example, remove the “Ground” variant if your packaging specifically shows “Whole Bean”.
