Iromi Color Swatches: Support and FAQ

Shopify app · Provider: GRAMSHIFT (Tokyo, Japan) · Last updated: 2026-10-12

Iromi Color Swatches links products that are the same item in different colors, such as a T-shirt saved as one product per color, and shows them as color swatches on the product page and on product cards. Each swatch opens that color's own product, with its own price, photos, stock and Add to cart.

Set up

  1. Install Iromi Color Swatches from the Shopify App Store and approve the permissions. The app opens on the Swatch groups page.
  2. Create a group. Click Create group, enter a group name (only you see it) and the option name shown above the swatches (for example Color). Pick the products that are the same item in different colors. For each product, set the swatch name (for example Navy) and a swatch color; leave the color empty to use the product photo as the swatch. Use the arrows to set the order of the swatches, then click Save.
  3. Add the swatches to the product page. Click Add to product page. The theme editor opens on your product template with the Color swatches block added. Move it where you want it (for example under the title) and click Save.
  4. Turn on card swatches. Click Turn on card swatches. The theme editor opens with the Product card swatches app embed switched on. Click Save.
  5. Check your store. Open one of the grouped products and a collection that contains them.

Frequently asked questions

How do I show each color of a product as swatches when every color is a separate product?

Install Iromi Color Swatches, click Create group, pick the products that are the same item in different colors, give each a swatch name and color, and save. Then click Add to product page and Turn on card swatches and save in the theme editor. Each swatch opens that color's own product.

Can I use combined listings without Shopify Plus?

You can link every color with swatches without Shopify Plus. Iromi Color Swatches shows your separate color products as swatches on the product page and on each collection card, on any store with the Online Store channel and an Online Store 2.0 theme. It works differently from Shopify's Combined Listings app (a Shopify Plus feature): it does not create one parent product for all colors. Each color stays its own product with its own collection card, URL, photos and stock, and a swatch opens that color's page.

Does the price change when a shopper picks another color?

Yes. Each swatch opens that color's own product page, so the price, photos, stock and Add to cart are the ones of the color the shopper picked. Sale prices and the currency your theme shows work as usual, because the page is your own product page.

Will the wrong color be added to the cart?

No. The app does not add anything to the cart. Shoppers add the product they are looking at with your theme's own Add to cart button, so the cart holds exactly that product and size.

Does each color keep its own photos and URL?

Yes. Each color is its own product, so your theme shows that product's full photo gallery, not a single image, and each color keeps its own URL.

Do I need to edit my theme code?

No. The swatches are a theme app block and an app embed that you add, move and switch off in the theme editor. Nothing is written into your theme files, and when you remove the app the swatches stop showing in your store.

Can I keep sizes as variants?

Yes. Each product keeps its own variants. A typical setup is one product per color, with sizes as that product's variants. The swatches switch the color; your theme's variant picker still chooses the size.

Can I use a photo or pattern instead of a flat color?

Yes. Leave the swatch color empty and the product's photo is used as the swatch, which suits prints, patterns and materials.

Are sold-out colors shown?

Yes. A color whose product is sold out stays in the row and is marked as sold out on its swatch, so shoppers can still open it and see that it is unavailable.

Does it show swatches on collection and search pages?

Yes. Turn on the Product card swatches app embed. Each card shows the swatches of its group; hovering a swatch shows that color's photo and tapping it opens that color.

Which themes does it work with?

Online Store 2.0 themes that support app blocks. We test on Dawn and Horizon. If card swatches do not appear on your theme, see the advanced settings above or email us.

How many products can a group have?

Up to 50 products per group. A product can belong to one group at a time.

What happens when I delete a group?

Only the swatches are removed. Your products stay exactly as they are.

What languages does it support?

The swatch labels shoppers see are available in English, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish and Swedish. The app's admin pages are in English. Swatch names are written by you, in any language.

How do plans and billing work?

The plans and their prices are listed on the app's Shopify App Store page. Billing is done by Shopify on your Shopify invoice. You can upgrade, downgrade or cancel from the app's Plan page, which opens Shopify's plan page; removing the app also ends the charge. If you move to a plan with fewer groups, the groups over the limit are paused: they are kept, hidden from your store, and come back when you upgrade or delete other groups.

Does the app slow down my store?

The product page swatches are part of the page your theme renders, with no extra script. Card swatches use one small script that loads after the page and reads swatch data from your store's own Shopify Storefront API.

Can I use it if my colors are variants of a single product?

Iromi Color Swatches links separate products. A product whose colors are variants can still join a group with other products; its own variants stay in your theme's variant picker.

Does the app collect my customers' data?

No. The app does not read orders or customers, and shoppers' browsers never contact our server. Details: Privacy Policy.
