Assign Types

Assigning option sets to products in Shopify can be flexible and powerful with our Assign Types feature. This allows store owners to control exactly which products receive which option sets.

1. All Products​

This option applies the selected option set to all products in your store.

Assign to all products

Perfect for when you want uniform options across your entire catalog.

2. Collection​

Apply the option set to all products within a specific collection.

Assign to collections

Useful if you have categories like "T-Shirts" or "Shoes" and want all items in that collection to share the same options.

3. Specific Products​

Choose individual products to assign the option set.

Assign to individual products

Ideal for customizing selected products without affecting the rest of your catalog.

4. Tag​

Assign the option set to all products with a specific tag.

Assign by tags

This is helpful for dynamically managing products that share characteristics but are not in the same collection, such as "Sale", "New Arrival", or "Custom Design".

Conclusion​

The Assign Types feature provides full flexibility in how option sets are applied:

  • Quickly apply to all products
  • Target entire collections
  • Select specific products, or
  • Use tags for dynamic grouping

This ensures that Shopify store owners can manage variants efficiently, keeping their catalog organized and their customers' shopping experience smooth.
