COMIC CATALOG TOOLS FOR SHOPIFY · IN DEVELOPMENT
Your next chapter starts
with a better catalog.
More time for your customers. Less time rebuilding distributor spreadsheets.
Variant Commerce is a comic catalog app being built for comic book stores on Shopify. It brings distributor title discovery, issue details, cover options, and product selection into a focused workflow for the way comic retailers work.
Variant Commerce is not yet publicly available. We’re collecting interest from retailers and will reach out when it’s ready. The workflows below illustrate the experience we’re building; features may change before launch.

Built around the way comic stores work.
New solicitations. Multiple covers. Monthly catalogs. Constant updates. Your store needs a product workflow that understands comics.
01 / Discover your next sellers
Explore distributor titles in a focused catalog workflow. Review comic details and cover options together instead of piecing information together across another spreadsheet. Catalog data from Lunar and Penguin Random House is already part of the development app.
02 / Choose your issues and covers
Build a selection that fits your customers. Keep the titles and variants you want to sell separate from the full distributor catalog, so your team can focus on the products that matter to your shop.
03 / Give product data a consistent home
Work toward a repeatable catalog process for your Shopify operation as new releases and updates arrive. The goal is a clearer path from distributor discovery to your store’s product workflow.
Picture it in your shop
Illustrative retailer workflows in development.
Planning a new month’s releases
Your team reviews distributor solicitations, checks title details, and narrows the catalog to the issues that fit your customers—all within a focused selection process.
Choosing the right covers
A new issue has several cover options. Review those options and choose the variants your shop wants to carry, keeping the selection organized around the issue.
Keeping a growing catalog manageable
As another release cycle arrives, return to the same catalog workflow instead of rebuilding the process from scratch. Keep your product choices focused and easier for your team to follow.
