To give stores more flexibility around standalone vs. variant products, we've developed the following options that are available in both the product list and edit product pages.
- Split to standalone: Pulls a variant out to be its own standalone product
- Split to variant: Creates a new parent product and pulls the product to be a variant under it
- Merge: Pulls either a standalone or variant product to be another product's variant
All 3 of these options will maintain inventory and sales history, making it easier to recover from products entered incorrectly the first time and reducing the need to delete compliance products (which makes generating compliance reports more difficult).
