A Variable Product is a physical product with multiple variations. For example; merchandise that has multiple colours and sizes. The variable product allows you to have different photos, prices and stock levels for each variation.

Let’s take a look at how to create a Variable Product!

 

Navigating to Products

On this page, you’ll find the table containing your Store Products.

Product Details

Start by giving your product an appropriate Name this will be the first thing your customers will see so be sure to clearly outline what product is being sold.

You can include a Description to provide the potential buyer with more details about the product (size guide, materials used, colours, etc.).

Before you can add the different variations you must first create the different attributes under the “Attributes” tab. For example; sizes, colours etc.

The Values are separated using a pipe symbol. See the example here > [ Blue | Red | Black | White ].

Important Note: Be sure to check the button for “Used for variations“.

Don’t forget to “Save Attributes“.
