Variator App: EX Show Variants on Collection app allows users to find the right product directly from the shop without having to open a product and select the product variant from the drop-down. Variator app lets merchants enable an “Add to cart” button with product variants on the shop page so customers can directly add variants to their cart and checkout. Merchants customize the “Add to cart” Button. Show variants on collection and maximize variants product pages conversions.
Is there a free plan, or do I have to pay to use this app?
There is a free plan, but it is limited to development stores only and lets you test all Platinum-tier features. For live stores, paid plans start at $4.99/month (Ultimate), $7.99/month (Grow), or $12/month (Platinum), with a 7-day free trial on all paid plans. Annual billing saves up to 17%.
Will this app slow down my store or hurt performance?
EX Show Variants on Collection holds the 'Built for Shopify' badge, meaning it meets Shopify's highest standards for performance, design, and integration. Multiple merchant reviews describe the app's performance as smooth and reliable, with no notable speed issues reported.
How hard is it to set up — do I need a developer?
No developer is needed. Merchants consistently describe setup as quick and easy, with no extensive coding required. The support team is also available to assist with setup and theme-specific customizations during the onboarding process.
Will it work with my existing Shopify theme?
The app integrates well with most Shopify themes out of the box. However, some merchants have reported occasional compatibility issues with specific themes (e.g., Expanse 2.0). In most cases, the support team has been able to resolve theme conflicts, though results can vary depending on your theme's structure.
What exactly does the app do, and which plan do I need for key features like hiding sold-out variants?
The app displays your product variants (color, size, material, etc.) as separate product cards on collection pages, search results, and the homepage, with an Add to Cart button per variant. Hiding sold-out variants on all collections and infinite scroll are only available on the Platinum plan ($12/month). The $4.99 Ultimate plan limits color-only display to 2 collections, while Grow ($7.99/month) unlocks color-only across all collections.
What do other merchants say about the support team?
Support is widely praised as responsive and helpful, with many merchants noting quick resolution of setup and customization issues. A few negative reviews mention time-zone delays (the developer Extendons is based in Islamabad, Pakistan) and frustration with WhatsApp-based troubleshooting for more complex theme conflicts.
Does the app work on the homepage and search results pages, not just collection pages?
Yes — variants can be displayed as separate products on the homepage, search results pages, and any collection page. However, at least one merchant noted that the app does not work on certain homepage sections like a 'Collection Switcher,' so functionality may vary depending on your theme's homepage layout.
