    FAQ

    Variant Robot — frequently asked questions.

    What is Variant Robot on Shopify?
    Variant Robot, officially listed on the Shopify App Store as Variant Robot: Link Products, is a Shopify app in the Product variants category. Variant Robot links your separate products as color or variant options, shown as swatches, image thumbnails, blocks, or dropdowns. Set one rule - match by title, SKU, tag, or metafield - and every matching product connects instantly. New products link themselves as you add them, so there is nothing to maintain. Links render server-side with Liquid, so they load instantly and stay crawlable for SEO. Works on every theme and every Shopify plan, never changes your product data, and needs no code. It averages 4.60 out of 5 across 11 merchant reviews on the Shopify App Store.
