Product variations

If your product has options, you can create variations for it. Variations are unique sets of options (such as size, color, material, etc.) that exist for this particular product.

You can create variations for products that have two or more options with different values. You can also create variations for products that have only one option with several values (e.g., sizes S, M, and L). You can create as many variations as you like.

Product variations can help you:

  • Assign different images for every set of options your product has (frequently used for apparel and shoes)

  • Automatically adjust prices depending on the options your customer selects

  • Track inventory with unique SKUs for each set of options to prevent overselling

  • Specify weight, length, width, and height for each combination of options your product has to get more precise shipping rates at checkout

Adding product variations

Each product can have an unlimited number of options. Based on them, you can create an unlimited number of variations for this particular product. The combinations of options, as well as the options themselves, can vary from product to product. For example, one product has different sizes and colors, while another has different styles and materials.

  1. From your JoatCart admin, go to Catalog Products.
