Create Variations

If you sell products with variants (like different sizes or colors), set up variations here. Skip this step if all your products are single-type items.

📌 Where to Find

Navigate to /app/variations in your browser.

📚 What Are Variations?

Variations allow a single product to have multiple variants, each with its own SKU, price, and stock level. A variation has two parts:

When to Use Variations

Use VariationsDon't Use Variations
T-Shirts in sizes S, M, L, XL A single item like a pen or charger
Phone cases in Red, Blue, Black Rice sold by weight
Shoes in sizes 38, 39, 40, 41 A unique item with no variants

📝 Form Fields

Click the "Add" button. A popup form will appear:

Field Type Required Description
Name Text Required The variation group name (e.g., "Color", "Size", "Material").
Variation Types Dynamic List Required Add one or more variation type names. Each type gets its own text input row.
• Click the "+" button to add more types.
• Click the trash icon to remove a type.
• At least one type is required.

🎯 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Go to Products → Variations from the sidebar menu.
  2. Click the "Add" button.
  3. Enter the variation group Name (e.g., "Color").
  4. In the first variation type row, enter the first option (e.g., "Red").
  5. Click the "+" button to add more types (e.g., "Blue", "Green", "Black").
  6. Click "Save".
  7. Repeat for other variation groups if needed (e.g., add a "Size" variation with types "S", "M", "L", "XL").

💡 Common Variation Examples

Variation NameTypes
ColorRed, Blue, Green, Black, White
SizeS, M, L, XL, XXL
MaterialCotton, Polyester, Silk
Storage64GB, 128GB, 256GB
FlavorChocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry

Important

Each product can only use one variation group. For example, a T-shirt can be varied by Size OR Color, but not both simultaneously. Plan your variations accordingly.

Editing Variations

You can edit a variation to add or remove types later. When editing, you can add new types with the "+" button and remove existing ones with the trash icon. Removed types that are in use by products will be tracked separately.

Checkpoint

If you created variations, you're now ready to add variable products. If you skipped this step, you can still add single-type products. Let's proceed to adding products!
