Product Variants and Inventory Management

This content is only relevant for native store.

To determine which eCommerce solution you are on, see How do I know if I am using Native eCommerce or Third Party eCommerce?

Variants

Product variants are combinations of product option values. For example, if you sell a shirt with two options: size (with values of small or medium) and color (with values of blue or red). The variants of these options are:

  • Small, blue

  • Small, red

  • Medium, blue

  • Medium, red

Note

The native store supports up to 8 variants per product on the Standard plan. For example, the 8 variants can be created using 2 options with 3 values each, or 3 options with 2 values each. The Advanced plan supports up to 1000 products and 300 variants per product. To learn more about Native eCommerce plans, see our Plans page.

Manage Variants

Warning

All options must be added before editing variants. If you add a new option after editing variants, it will overwrite all the edits you have made to the variants. To learn how to add or edit options, see Product Options.

To manage variants:

  1. In the side panel, click Sell Online.
  2. Click Store Management, then click Manage Products.
  3. Click to open the desired product and scroll down to the Manage Variants section.
  4. Click Manage Variants.
  5. Edit the following fields as necessary:
    • Image. Click to add an image of this particular variation.
    • Variant type. The combination of options. Cannot be edited.
    • Variant price. The base price of the product. Cannot be edited.
    • Price difference. The amount the price needs to increase or decrease from the base price. For example, if the base price is $40 and this particular variation costs $45, you would type +5 in the Price difference field. And if the variation price was $35, you would type -5.
    • Inventory. If the Track Inventory toggle is enabled, you can enter inventory in this field.
    • SKU. The SKU is automatically inherited from the main product, but you can edit it if necessary.
    • On/Off. Toggle to the Off position to make the variation unavailable in your store.
  6. Click Apply.
