As promised over there, I will present you with the algorithm and the JavaScript code needed to implement multiple attributes for products in Shopify without variants. With this method, you are not squandering any of your precious SKUs, and you are avoiding the long dreaded drop-down variant selection box of death:
You will present your visitors with one drop-down select box per attribute your product has (for example, one for size, and one for color...). The method works for an unlimited number of attributes, ie. two, three, whatever. The chosen options for the cart items attributes will be stored in a web cookie and submitted to Shopify's 'back-end' during the checkout process. This method uses JavaScript. With JavaScript disabled in the browser, your visitors will be unable to pick any attributes other than the default ones chosen for them. This method is a workaround. Jaded Pixel really should implement multiple attributes (most commonly, these are size and color), but they have chosen not to, so we have to make do.

Combing this with Products with a Single Variant
Caroline great tut! Really helpful in all, but I was wondering (perhaps I missed something) if there's a way to the exclude the multiple variants for products that don't have any?
I tried adding an IF statement to the list of option values but I'm not sure if I have the liquid tags correct. Any help would be fantastic!
Yes
Yes, using Liquid. Just don't add a select element for options if there aren't any. You can base your logic on reading a Tag, or by checking if the product is of type x, or belongs to collection y.
Awesome work, Caroline!
Awesome work, Caroline! Thanks for this.
