Work with product variants

To use an attribute to create variants, mark the attribute as Used for product variants when you create a Product Type.

Product Type definition with attributes used for variants

If a product has only one attribute that can be used for variants, you can create variants for this attribute.

If a product has more than one such attribute, you can create variants for any combination of attribute values. For example, for a desk that has two top colors: white and oak and two frame colors: black and grey, you can create up to four variants: white/black, white/grey, oak/black, and oak/grey.

Generate variants

You can generate variants automatically based on the configured attributes.

To generate variants:

  1. Go to the Variants tab in product view and click Generate variants.

Generating product variants

2. For each attribute listed, select the values you want to create variants for.

3. Confirm with Generate variants.

You can now see a list of all possible variants for the selected attribute values.

Delete variants

You can delete any generated product variant. To do it, select one or more variants in the list and click the Delete button.

Manually create variants

If needed, you can manually create any missing variants, including ones you previously deleted. To do this, click Add next to the variant list, enter a product code and select attribute values for the new variant.

Manage variants

You can set up product availability separately for each product variant.

You can also set up prices per product variant. The prices will override prices set for the main product. If you do not define a price for a variant, the price of the main product is used.
