Variations are very useful for products that are sold with multiple variations, for example pizzas with different toppings, tea with different flavours or products that are sold in various sizes.
- To start off, log in to your admin and head to Store > Variation Sets and create your variation set by clicking Add variation set, fill out the name and description box and click save. A variation set for a pizzeria could be for example "Pizza Ingredients"
- Then create a Variation Attribute by going to Store > Variation attributes > + Add attribute, fill out a name and hit save. Variation Attributes for a pizzeria could be for example "Doughs", "Sauces" & "Toppings". Variation attributes are like variation folders within the variation set.
- Now go back to Store > Variation Sets to create your variations. On the right hand side of your variation set, click View > Add variation.
- Label* is the name of your variation.
- Select the appropriate variation attribute.
- Under price adjustment > Price you can type in how much that variation costs extra.
- Under price adjustment > Price operation you can choose if the amount subtracts or adds to the price of the original product.
- Click on Save.
- Repeat steps 3 - 8 until you have all the variations you want to use. Now you should have a fully functioning variation set.
- Go to Store > items > products, find the product that you want to attach the variation set to and click on edit.
- On the product page, scroll down. Under Administrative is a drop-down box called Variation Sets, select the appropriate variation set.
- Save.
