When you create a product with variants, you can choose between a simple variant, an option or a customized variant.
This last option allows you to customize your variant precisely.
To create a customized variant, here are the steps to follow:
- Go to the "Variants" tab of the desired product page, click on "Manage variants" then "Add a variant" and "Create a new variant".
- Enter the title of the variation (this name will allow you to find your variation later if you want to apply it to several products).
- Then fill in the second title which concerns the display on the site. You will be able to describe your variations to your potential customer (Example: "Choose your size").
- Confirm this first step.
- Then add the different choices and click on "Create a customized variant".
You will then be able to manage the display of your variants on the site.
- If you only offer one choice to your customer, you can present the variation as a drop-down menu or an option button.
- If you accept several possible choices, then you can opt for a box to tick.
You can, then, define the different parameters to be taken into account in each choice of your variant:
- The weight
- The reference
- The photo
- The price
- The stock
☝️ Good to know
If you decide to manage the stock, you will have 2 choices:
- The classic stock management allows you to automatically deduct the quantity of products sold with each order. This is the solution that is used in 95% of cases.
- The global quantities management allows you to define a general quantity (example: 100 units) and a quantity to deduct for each choice (example: choice 1 - 20 units / choice 2 - 35 units...).
Finally, you will be able to define the options to activate on your variant:
- If your variant is mandatory or not.
- If your customer has the right to add a quantity on each choice of your variant or not. In this case, you can define a minimum (for example: 1) and a maximum (for example: 10).
These different parameters are saved for this product, but it is quite possible to use the same variant (same choices, same titles...) with a different configuration for another product.
