Combined Listings creates intelligent connections between your products and options using Shopify's metaobject infrastructure. This enables seamless integration with your store's filtering and search systems.
How it works?
When you create a listing and map products to options:
Metaobject Creation - The app automatically creates metaobject entries in Shopify
Data Synchronization - Option values are synced to Shopify
Product Association - Each product is linked to its option value
Filter Generation - These mappings become available as filter options
Search & Discovery Integration
The mappings created by Combined Listings automatically integrate with Shopify's Search & Discovery app, enabling powerful filtering capabilities.
Automatic Filter Creation
When you use existing Shopify option values in your listings:
Values are recognized by Search & Discovery
Filters are automatically available in your store
Customers can filter by any mapped option
Results include all relevant product variations
Why Consistent Values Matter
Using existing values instead of creating new ones ensures:
✅ Filter Accuracy
Good: All products use "Red" consistently
Result: One "Red" filter finds all red products
Bad: Mix of "Red", "red", "RED"
Result: Multiple confusing filters or missing products
✅ Search Results
Customers find products regardless of which variant they view
Search terms match across all related products
No duplicate results in search
✅ Analytics Clarity
Clean data for sales reports
Accurate inventory tracking
Better understanding of popular options
Dynamic Filter Updates
As you update listings:
New values appear in filters automatically
Removed values disappear from filters
No manual filter maintenance needed
