Shopify - Variation Limit

Understanding the Shopify Variation Limit

Shopify imposes limits on variant uploads to maintain platform performance and ensure a consistent experience for all merchants. Specifically, if your Shopify store has 50,000 or more variants, a daily rate limit applies for uploading additional variants.

Variant Upload Limits:

• Standard Shopify plans (Non-Plus):

  • If your store has 50,000 or more existing variants, you can only add up to 1,000 new variants per day using apps or CSV file imports.

• Shopify Plus plans:

  • No daily rate limit applies, meaning you can upload more than 1,000 variants per day, regardless of the number of existing variants.

Key Points:

• This daily rate limit specifically applies to variant uploads performed through apps or CSV imports.
• Stores with fewer than 50,000 variants are not subject to this daily limit.
• Manual variant additions through the Shopify admin interface are not affected by this daily rate limit.
