Managing a wide range of product variants can be challenging for any dropshipping store. The Split Product feature in Zopi helps you turn a multi-variant item into individual product listings—giving you more control over how each variant is priced, promoted, and fulfilled.

In this article, you will learn how to split a product in Zopi, why it matters for your business, and how to use this feature to improve product management and customer experience.

What is Split Product?

The Split Product feature allows you to divide one product with multiple variants, such as color, size, or style, into separate, standalone product listings in your store.

Once split, each variant becomes an individual product that you can:

  • Edit independently, including titles, descriptions, and images
  • Assign unique pricing or promotional strategies
  • Push to your Shopify or WooCommerce store as a separate item
  • Fulfill individually during order processing

This feature is especially useful when importing products from marketplaces like AliExpress, Amazon, Zopi. eBay or Temu, where many listings contain several variants under one product.

Why is Split Product Important for Dropshipping?

While grouping variants under a single product can seem convenient, it often limits your flexibility when managing, promoting, or fulfilling orders. Here are some of the key advantages of using the Split Product feature in your dropshipping store:

  • Showcase best-selling variants as standalone items to improve visibility and conversions
  • Simplify your store layout by avoiding overly complex variant menus
  • Set different prices for each product based on cost, perceived value, or marketing goals
  • Run more targeted promotions for individual items
    Reduce order fulfillment issues, especially when variants come from different suppliers

Using this feature allows you to better align your product strategy with customer behavior and sales goals.

Step-by-Step Guide to Splitting a Product in Zopi

Follow these steps to split a multi-variant product into separate listings using the Zopi app.

Step 1: Select the Product to Split

  • Go to Zopi Dropshipping > Product Center.
  • Select the product with multiple variants you want to split.

Step 2: Open the Split Product Interface

  • In the product detail pop-up window, click More actions > Split product.

Step 3: Choose the Split Method

You have two options:

By Option
Create new products based on a selected option (e.g., Size).
Each product will retain other unselected options.
→ Use this if you want to keep some variation structure.

By Variant
Create new products where each one includes only one SKU.
→ Use this if you want each product to represent a single, specific variant.

Step 4: Configure Your Settings

Under the Settings section, you can choose:

  • Keep current content after split
    Retain original product descriptions and details.

  • Keep other variant images after split
    Keep all variant images in each split product.

  • Add variant name to product title
    Automatically append the variant name to the product title.
    (e.g., “Blue – Mini Dress” instead of just “Mini Dress”)

Step 5: Preview and Confirm

  • Review the Preview result section to see how your split products will look.
  • Once everything looks good, click Split product to complete the process.

Tips & Best Practices

To use the Split Product feature effectively:

  • Use it to enhance storefront clarity — customers see fewer, more relevant product options.

  • Split by SKU for running ads on individual variants.

  • Split by option if you want to retain grouped variant structures.

Note: Splitting a product is irreversible. Make sure to double-check the preview before confirming.

Common Challenges and How to Overcome Them

Below are some frequently asked questions and common issues you may encounter when using the Split Product feature:

I cannot find the “Split product” option

Make sure the product has two or more variants. This option is only available for products with multiple variants.

Can I split a product more than once?

Yes. The original product remains in your Imported list, allowing you to return and perform additional splits later.

What happens to inventory and price synchronization?

As long as the product remains connected to the supplier’s listing, Zopi will continue to sync inventory and pricing updates for each split variant.
