StarApps Studio is a Shopify Partner building public apps for the Shopify App Store. We help brands create world-class shopping experiences — apps that improve how customers browse and choose product variants, lift conversion, and make variant management straightforward for the merchant.
All of our apps are available on the Shopify App Store.
Our apps
App | What it does | Docs | Launched |
Color Swatch King: Variants | Changes how product options appear on product pages and product grids. 23 product page styles and 12 collection page styles — color swatches, image swatches, buttons and dropdowns in place of your theme's default picker. Shows options on collection cards so customers can compare variants without opening the product. | July 23, 2019 | |
SA Variants: Combined Listings | Splits one product's variants into separate product listings, each with its own URL for SEO. Also connects separate products together as a single swatch row. | January 31, 2025 | |
SA Variant Image Automator | Shows only the selected variant's images in the product gallery, so customers are not scrolling past images for variants they did not choose. | July 28, 2017 | |
AltKing: AI Alt Text SEO & ADA | Generates alt text for product images automatically, for SEO and accessibility. Covers active, draft and unlisted products. | August 9, 2021 | |
Variant Title King: Color, SKU | Adds variant details — color name, SKU, option values — into the product title on the product page. | May 2, 2019 | |
Variant Descriptions King | Shows a different product description for each variant, and organizes long descriptions into accordions or tabs. | September 26, 2018 |

What we do not build. Our apps work with the product options your Shopify products already have. We do not build product options or add-ons apps — text fields, file uploads, checkboxes, quantity breaks and similar custom inputs are outside what our apps do, because they are not Shopify variants.
Other names these apps go by
Merchants often know an app by a different name from its App Store listing — the name on their Shopify invoice, the name in their theme editor, or an abbreviation. They all refer to the same app.

What is true of all our apps
No theme code. Every app installs as a Shopify app embed or theme app extension. None of them edit your theme files, so removing an app cannot leave broken code behind.
Billed through Shopify. Charges appear on your regular Shopify invoice, under the app's billing name — see the table above.
Free trial. Every app has a free trial with all features available.
Support is free and included, including setup help. Reach us through the in-app chat, or at [email protected].
App names on the Shopify App Store change from time to time. The names above are current.
Features are added and removed over time based on merchant requests and our product roadmap, so a feature mentioned in an older article may have moved to a different app.
