Hey @AmyS

Welcome to the Seller Community 🙌🏼

Unfortunately only the items themselves are categorized, so you'd need to move the entire item from one category to the other, or create a new item with the right variations in the correct category to separate it out. 

You can then delete the variations that don't belong in the everyday dog toy category. 

I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions around this. 

@EJ_ I have a similar situation. But the other way around. Because of poor planning, I have items that I need to change into variations of another item. If I do as you say here, and then delete the previous item, will I lose the previous inventory tracking and sales?

@bloodyrosebtq your previous sales and reporting information would still be present, however once you delete the item itself it would change your inventory counts for that item (since it's no longer a stand alone item).

You'll want to make sure the inventory of the newly created variations is correct before you delete the items. 

Hey @VSN-Spokane. There isn't a way to combin two existing items into one - you'd need to edit an existing item or create a new one.

If you change an item or category it won't alter your past reports, so you'll still have records of the sales for the separate items before you created a new one/made changes.

Thanks Helen!  I figured as much but was hoping there was magic out there that I was not aware of.

Hi! I've merged your post to an existing thread so we can keep all of the feature requests in one place. Thank you for posting!!

I second that. That would be very helpful!
