Changelog | Rubik Combined Listings Swatch

June 2026

Feature Swatch visibility can now be controlled per device. An "Advanced: control by device" section under Swatch visibility lets you hide product page, product card, or featured product swatches on desktop or mobile independently, while keeping them enabled on the other device. All options are off by default, so existing stores are unchanged.
Feature Per-group device visibility. Each product group's advanced settings now include a "Device visibility" section to hide that group's product page or product card swatches on desktop or mobile. These layer on top of your global visibility settings and are off by default.
Feature New "Product page settings" options to prefetch or prerender the linked product page when a shopper hovers or taps a swatch, so navigating between linked products feels faster. Both are off by default. Prerender is the most aggressive option and runs the linked page's scripts before the visit, so review its trade-offs first. See the faster swatch navigation guide.
Improvement New guide: show one card per group on collection pages using Shopify's Unlisted product status, while the swatch row keeps linking to every grouped product.

May 2026

Feature New "Sorting settings" section in global settings with a "Push new products to the start" toggle. When enabled, swatches are ordered by the product's publish date, newest first. If a product is also out of stock and the out-of-stock rule is enabled, that rule still takes priority.
Feature CSV import now supports two new optional columns: swatch_custom_image (a Shopify file GID like gid://shopify/MediaImage/123) and swatch_category (a plain text name). Categories with the same name are deduplicated automatically, so the same name shared across rows ends up referencing one category.
Improvement CSV export now reads all group, swatch, and category data fresh from Shopify on every export instead of trusting the app's local cache. This guarantees the file reflects edits made directly in the Shopify metaobject editor.

April 2026

Feature Multiple options support (Color x Style, Color x Size, etc.): products that belong to two or more groups now render a separate swatch row per option, with automatic cross-group filtering so customers only see valid combinations. See the multiple options guide.
Feature CSV import for bulk grouping: import product groups from a CSV file, with product handle resolution and an example template to get started
Improvement CSV import headers are now case-insensitive and accept spaced names (e.g., "Product Handle" works alongside "product_handle")
Improvement Faster CSV import for large files, especially when many handles don't match any product in the store
Improvement Bulk group creation no longer skips products without a featured image
Feature Export all product groups to CSV: generates a file with fresh product data from Shopify and sends it to your email
Feature Admin translated into Arabic, German, French, Turkish, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Azerbaijani, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Swedish, and Norwegian
Feature Separate display order for product cards: control the order of groups on product cards independently from product pages

March 2026
