Nettailer Tutorials: Product Variations Video
Product variations allow for the grouping of products (usually of the same model) where there may be variations in the model itself. For example a device or handset that comes in various different colour options.
A product variation can be set up to allow these products to be linked together and allow the user to select through all the different options available from the product screen without having to search for each variation separately.
To set up a new variation group use the "create" option.
Here you will need to give the product variation a name to identify what it is for and create at least one attribute name (e.g. colour).
You can then add all the various values (in this case colours) associated with this product by selecting the "add value" option under the attribute.
Multiple combinations of attributes and values can be set up - e.g. colour and storage capacity:
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Colour | Red Green Blue Yellow |
| Storage Capacity | 128GB 256GB 512GB |
Once the attributes and values have been set up, you will then have the option to create the links to those products - for example by selecting the values for Red 128GB this can then be linked to a specific part number for that specific variation.
Once all the value combinations have a product associated to them, the product can be viewed on the shop front - where newly created drop down options will be available and in this example the combination of colour and storage capacity can be selected by the user:
