    How to create product variants

    If there were no stock items and orders created for a product, you could turn this product into a parent for product variants.

    To create product variants:

    1. Open a product that you want to turn into a parent product for variants.
    2. In the topic menu, choose Properties tab and select a property set that the product will vary on (dropdown type properties).
      create-product-variants-choose-property-set
    3. Go to the Variant properties tab and add the properties from the available properties set for the product to vary on.
      create-variant-product-variant-properties
    Note:

    After the properties were added, the product edited is turned into a parent product for the variants. It could no longer be stored at the warehouse or published on the website. The Code field now contains variables based on which the variants codes will be generated.

    1. (Optional) Adjust the products code based on which the codes for the product variants will be generated.
    2. Open the Product Variants tab to start creating variants based on properties:
      create-product-variants-from-parent
    3. Select a shop selection for which you would like to create a variant product. Or leave its value to Global Price (ex) to create variants for all sales channels.
    4. Select Variant properties values from the dropdowns. The list of variants below will be filtered accordingly.
    5. Click the Add Product Variant button.
    6. A new product record row will appear in the grid. You can now edit the variant details: code, publication status, retail price.
    7. Proceed with the remaining variants.
    8. Once finished, save the product edited. It will be converted into a parent product for variants, and product variants will be created on save.
