Variations panel

The Variation panel is available only when “Variable product” product type is selected. You are required to define attributes before you can configure variations. Variations allows you to define different options with different pricing for a single product. For example, you can define different pricing for automatic transmission and manual transmission cars of the same brand, model and model year, in a single product listing. Variation can help you conserve your product listing cap.

1. Default Form Values:- Select values from the available attributes fields to define which variation will be displayed by default.
2. Use the “Variations Bulk Options” setting to set parameters that apply to all variations. Do not touch this field unless you are sure of what you’re doing.

It is now time to configure the actual variations. This is how it works: Suppose your product has colour and condition attributes. You can create different variations for different colour-condition combinations that have different pricing. For example,

New black (i.e Black + New) = ₵520

New white (i.e White + New) = ₵500

Used blue (i.e Blue + Used) = ₵300

Any damaged (i.e Any colour + Damaged) = ₵60

You can create as many variations as there are available attribute permutations. You can perm more that two attributes. Configure the options inside the large box.

1. Select a term from each of the attributes you want to create a variation for.
2. Check “Enable” to make the variation available to shoppers.
3. Check “Virtual” if it applies to your product. See Adding a new product.
4. Check “Manage Stock” if you want to enter number of products in stock and configure backordering setting.
5. Click the image placeholder to upload or select an image for your variation.
6. Enter values for “Regular Price” and “Sale Price”. See Adding a new product.
7. Define SKU and Stock Status (If “Manage Stock” is turned off) values, Stock Quantity and Backorders values (If “Manage Stock” is turned on). See Inventory instructions.
8. Define the weight, the length, the width and the height of the product. See Shipping instructions.
9. Choose a shipping class. See Shipping Classes (link).
10. Choose a tax class. See Tax Classes (link).
11. Add a description for your variation.
12. To add a new variation, click the circled plus icon below the “Description” box.
13. Repeat steps 1 to 12 for all the variations you wish to create.

Note that some options will not be available if the “Virtual” option is enabled.
