For shopify merchants
Variant descriptions written once per option value instead of once per variant.
For products whose variants differ in more than colour: furniture in sizes and woods, tools in voltages, clothing in fits. Write text for an option value once, such as Walnut, and it goes on every walnut variant. Add pieces for one combination, and a variant's own words if needed. When the shopper changes an option, the description changes with it. Checks flag text that names the wrong option, variants with nothing of their own, and pieces that reach no variant. Export every description as CSV.

The problem
Variant descriptions for a Shopify store, written once per option value instead of once per variant — with a check for text that tells a shopper the wrong thing about the variant they picked.
Merchants whose variants differ in more than colour — furniture in sizes and woods, tools in voltages, clothing in fits. The incumbent (Variant Description OMG, 4.9 stars, 75 reviews) is free to three products and $5 unlimited, and is written per variant. A product with dozens of variants means dozens of near- identical descriptions to keep in step by hand.
