Variants (Color, Size, etc.)

Where to find: Product form → the Variant card and Combination Table that appear when Variant Product is selected as the product type Who it's for: Anyone who sells the same product with options like different color/size/dimension In short: You define a product's options (e.g. Color + Size), and in the combination table the system creates, you manage the price and stock of each option. You can select multiple rows and edit them in bulk.

First, let's understand the concept

Imagine a t-shirt. This t-shirt comes in Red, Blue colors and S, M, L sizes. This is actually a single product but it has 6 different forms:

Red + S       Blue + S
Red + M       Blue + M
Red + L       Blue + L

So:

• Color and Size → each a variant (option type)
• Red, Blue → the values of the Color variant
• S, M, L → the values of the Size variant
• Each of the 6 rows above → a combination

Each combination can have its own stock, its own barcode, even its own price. The system creates these for you automatically as a table.

Step by step: Setting up a variant product

Step 1 — Select the product type

At the top of the form, select Product Type = Variant Product. Now the Pricing and Inventory cards disappear; because this information will now be entered separately for each variant.

Step 2 — Open the variant card

The Variant card: "Define your product's different options like color and size. You can add from existing options or create new ones."

You have two options here:

• Select an existing variant: Select from variants you've previously defined (e.g. "Color").
• Create a new variant: If it's not yet defined, create a new variant.

Step 3 — Define a variant

When creating a new variant:

1. Variant Name (required): e.g. "Color" or "Size". If you leave it blank, the warning "Variant name is required." appears.
2. Select a Type:
   • Text (CHOICE): Textual options. E.g. "S, M, L" for size.
   • Color (COLOR): Color options. A color code + optional name (e.g. "Red") for each color.
3. Add the values: S, M, L for size; Red, Blue for color.
4. Save: The variant is saved and added to the product. (On success, the message "Variant added." appears.)

Step 4 — Add multiple variants (optional)

If you add both "Color" and "Size", the system automatically generates all the combinations of the two. 2 colors × 3 sizes = 6 combinations.

Combination Table — this is the heart of it

When you add variants, an automatic table appears below. Each row is a combination (e.g. "Red, S"). This table is where the variant product is actually managed.

The columns in the table

Most of these columns are the same as the fields explained in Pricing and Inventory — only here they're entered separately for each combination.

Editing a single row

Click the cell you want, type the value, click somewhere else to leave it (blur). The value is saved to that row.

Multi-selection + bulk editing (the biggest time-saving feature)

Let's say you have 6 combinations and you want to give all of them the same price. Instead of dealing with them one by one:

1. Select the rows. Check the checkboxes at the start of the rows you want to edit. To select all, check the topmost checkbox.
2. Click the cell of the column you want to edit. (E.g. "Sale Price".)
   • If the selected rows have different values, the box may appear empty/mixed — that's fine.
3. Type the new value. (E.g. 25.)
4. Click somewhere else (blur). The value you typed is applied to all selected rows at the same time.

Example scenario (start to finish)

Giving a 6-combination t-shirt a 25₺ sale price and stock deduction = 2 for all:

1. With the top checkbox, select all 6 rows.
2. Click the Sale Price cell → type 25 → click somewhere else. All 6 rows became 25₺.
3. Click the Stock Deduction cell → type 2 → click somewhere else. All 6 rows became 2.

That's it! Instead of dealing with it 6 times one by one, you entered each piece of information once.

Fields that can be bulk-changed

Fields you can apply to selected rows at the same time: Sale Price, List Price, Cost Price, VAT, SKU, Barcode, Desi, HS Code, Stock, Stock Deduction, Stock Type, Supplier, Status, Main, Product type, Backorder Sale.

Assigning a separate image to each combination

If you want the customer to see a photo of the red t-shirt when they select "Red":

1. Click the button in the relevant row's Image column.
2. The gallery opens; select one or more images for that combination.
3. With the Order option, you can drag and order these images (the first image becomes the cover).
4. The selection is saved automatically.

Entering stock (warehouse window)

1. Click the button in the row's Stock cell.
2. A panel opens from the right; there's a separate stock box for each of your warehouses.
3. Type the quantities. At the bottom, Total Stock is calculated automatically.
4. If you enter stock while multiple rows are selected, the same warehouse stocks are applied to all selected rows.

What does the "Main" combination mean?

The form of a variant product that will be shown by default is the "Main" combination. When the customer first opens the product page, this combination comes selected. Only one combination can be "Main"; when you make one "Main", the other is automatically released.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I delete a variant later? E.g. if you delete "Size", the combinations tied to that size are removed from the table. Rows you delete manually don't come back. If you add a new variant, new combinations are created; the data you entered for existing combinations is preserved.

Can I switch from a simple product to a variant one? Yes. It's enough to set the Product Type to Variant and define the variants. The system creates the combination table.

Is a separate barcode required for each row? It's not required for in-store sales. But if you'll send them to marketplaces (Trendyol, etc.), each combination needs a separate barcode.

The table is very wide, I can't see all the columns. You can reach all columns by scrolling the table sideways (horizontal scroll).
