Create variants by size and color

If a shirt comes in two colors and three sizes, each combination, such as Red in size M, is one variant. The dashboard calls each combination a variant, and calls Color or Size an option.

You add the options and values, and the dashboard creates all the variants for you. Each variant has its own price, SKU and stock.

Add options and values

1. Go to Products and click the product name.
2. In the Variants card, click Add option.
3. Choose an attribute, for example Color.
4. Click the existing values to add them, for example Red and Blue.
5. If a value doesn’t exist yet, type it in the Add value field and press Enter.
6. Click Done.
7. To add a second option, for example Size, click Add another option and repeat from step 3.
8. Click Save.

The variants table fills in with every combination. Two colors and three sizes give you six variants. Values you type are only added to the attribute library when you save the product.

Set the price and stock for each variant

1. In the variants table, enter the Price for each row.
2. Enter the quantity in the Available column.
3. Click Save.

Set the SKU for a variant

Each variant has its own page once the product is saved.

1. In the variants table, click the variant name in the Variant column.
2. In the Inventory card, click the arrow More inventory settings.
3. Enter the SKU.
4. Click Save.

This page also has the variant’s cost, weight and package size. See also Manage inventory.

Edit several variants at once

1. In the variants table, tick the rows you want to change.
2. Click Bulk edit.
3. Choose what to do, for example Set price or Fill SKU from pattern.
4. Enter the value and click Apply.
5. Click Save.

Delete a variant or remove an option

1. On the row of a variant you don’t sell, click the trash icon at the end of the row.
2. Click Delete variant.
3. Click Save.

To remove one value, click the option name, then click the trash icon next to the value. To remove a whole option, click Remove option. Variants that no longer match the options are deleted when you save.
