Product Variants

Product variants are combinations of all different attributes (options) of a product. The system creates a combination of all the attributes (options) you assigned to the product thus creating variants for the product.

For example, if your product – a tablecloth, comes in two different sizes (55”x70’’ and 55’’x80’’) and two different colors (blue and red) our system will generate 4 variants of this product:

A tablecloth – size 55”x70’’; color – blue

A tablecloth – size 55”x70’’; color – red

A tablecloth – size 55’’x80’’; color – blue

A tablecloth – size 55’’x80’’; color – red

If you add an attribute our system will generate additional variants.

Check this box if you want to add variants of a given product. When you check the box additional fields will open.

  • Option – Enter the attribute of the product (color, size, etc.)

  • Value – Specify the attribute of the product (blue, red, 55”x70’’, 55’’x80’’)

Click on the “Add Another Option” button if you want to add more options.

Watch the video below that will demonstrate how Product Variants are created and used with quotes and orders.
