# Variants are now managed on the product page

By Steven Van · 2026-10-29

Plus merchants can try the new variant editor in Test Drives now, with automatic opt-in on December 12 and a wider rollout starting in December.

Variant management in the Shopify admin now sits on the product page instead of a separate variant page, according to a [Shopify changelog entry](<https://changelog.shopify.com/posts/variants-are-now-managed-on-the-product-page>). [Shopify](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/shopify>) says the rest of the product details stay in view while variants are edited, so there is no switching between product and variant pages and no losing your place.

## What changed

- **Editing on the product page:** variants are edited directly on the product page.

- **Finding and organizing:** variants can be searched, filtered, and grouped by option. A detail view and a table view are available, and the table view is meant for quick editing.

- **Bulk edits:** core fields such as price and shipping can be changed across several variants at once.

Shopify says the updates are designed to make product management simpler as a catalog and its variant count grow.

## Availability

Merchants on **Plus and higher plans** can activate the feature now in Test Drives. They will be opted in automatically on **December 12**. The rollout to all merchants begins gradually in December, and the change arrives in the admin on its own with no setup needed. Shopify links a blog announcement and a help doc for more detail.
