Similar Products Are Now Variant-Aware
Similar Products recommendations now build from the exact variant a shopper is viewing, not just the overall product, for more relevant matches on color- and size-specific pages.
Variant Breakout Exclusion Conditions
Variant breakouts can now exclude variants that match a condition you define — like being on sale or out of stock — so they never get their own tile.
Variant-Scoped Collections
Layers now supports Shopify collections that include only some of a product’s variants, so browse, filters, price sorting, and variant breakouts respect exactly what’s in the collection.
How AI Sees This Product (Beta)
See exactly what Layers indexed for a product, what it left out and why, and how variants were split — right from the product page.
Group By Product Family
Product Family is now a groupable LayersQL dimension — roll split listings and variants up into one row when reporting on products, sort orders, and metrics.
Entitlement-Aware Compare-At Pricing
Discounted variants now expose the pre-discount price as compare_at_price across search, browse, and price range responses.
