Start a merge from the Shopify admin
Select products in the product list of your Shopify admin and open them in the Merges editor with the Merge Products bulk action.
The usual way to start a merge is the product selector inside Merges, described in the User manual. If you are already working in the product list of your Shopify admin, you can start the merge from there instead. Both paths open the same editor.
