Shopify product rules for variant tables

Product rules let merchants control how Smart Variant Table behaves on specific Shopify products. They are useful when one product needs a different preset, quantity rule, search and stock filter behavior, sold-out visibility, or column setup than the rest of the store.

What product rules control

A product rule can choose the product, assign a reusable preset, show the preset values being applied, set minimum quantity, maximum quantity, quantity step, low-stock threshold, variant search and stock filter, sold-out visibility, custom columns, and status.

When to use product rules

Use product rules when a specific product has special buying behavior. A wholesale product may require a Wholesale Matrix preset, minimum quantity, quantity steps, stock filters, and hidden sold-out variants, while a simple product may only need the global table settings.

Product rules override collection rules

If a collection rule applies a preset to many products, a product rule can override it for one product. This gives merchants broad control from collections and precise control from individual products.

Product rule checklist

• Select the product that needs special table behavior.
• Apply a reusable preset when possible.
• Review the preset values shown in the rule editor.
• Set minimum quantity and quantity step for bulk buying.
• Enable variant search and stock filter when buyers need faster filtering.
• Hide sold-out variants when unavailable options create clutter.
• Use custom columns only when they help buyers compare variants.
