Adding Products with multiple variations: #

If you have products which involve multiple variations like for example a Shirt can have Color & Size variation, then we have multiple ways to work with it:

Solution 1, Create combined variation: Can a variation with a name “Color-Size” and add values like Red-Small, Red-Medium, Red-Large, etc, this can be used for while adding the Shirt.

Solution 2, Create multiple Products: Create multiple different products like Shirt-Red, Shirt-Green, Shirt-Blue with size as variations. When you create multiple products you will NOT have to enter the same details multiple times, first, add the Shirt-Red with all size variations of it and then use the Duplicate Product action to copy the data.

Select Required variations: #

While adding variable products, you can select only the required variation values.

In your add/edit product screen, select the product type as ‘variation’ and select the variation name (eg. color).

A dropdown will be displayed, in which you can select the required variation values.
