Product Variations Intro

The product variations system allows you to list a single product available with different options, for example you may be selling a t-shirt and want the customer to be able to choose from a range of sizes and/or colours, but listing it as a single product.

There's a more detailed help guide about variations in general here.

Variations are managed through the API in 3 different levels:

• Options, e.g. 'Size' or 'Choose Colour'

• Option Values, e.g. 'Small', 'Medium', '50m', 'Brown'

• Attributes (also known as variations). Attributes are the final choice that a customer can make, like a Small Red T-Shirt and have properties like a SKU code and stock quantity

Using the API, each of the 3 levels have to be configured separately.

Where a price is specified for a product variation it is the final price that the customer will pay when selecting that variation of the product, it's important to note that this is not an additional price to the normal product price, but a replacement for it.
