Variations are built from attributes and their terms.

  2. Select attributes, such as Colors and Sizes, and add them.
  3. Tick the terms this product uses, for example Red, Blue and S, M, L. You can also type a new term just for this product.

  5. Choose Save.

Set up each variation​

  • SKU
  • Price. Leave it empty to use the default price from General.
  • Stock by warehouse, with a Low stock at threshold for alerts.
  • Dimensions and weight, if different from the product's.

Total stock adds up all warehouses. Use Hide to stop selling one combination without deleting it.

Stock alerts​

A variation shows Low stock when it drops to its threshold at a warehouse, and Out of stock when none is left. Stores that ship from that warehouse show it as out of stock.
