Multiple Levels of Product Variations and Addons – Watch the Video
-
Understanding Variations & Addons
- The analogy – a shoe store
- sells running shoes, walking shoes and dress shoes
- sells men’s & women’s shoes
- sells a variety of sizes
- sells a variety of colors
- sell shoe polish & shoe laces
- the products
- Running shoe
- walking shoe
- dress shoe
- The variations
- men’s or women’s
- size
- color
- The product does not stand alone from it’s variations. The variations define the product. You don’t go to the store to buy a pair of dress shoes. You buy a pair of women’s black dress shoes in size 9
- Addons are additional products that are apart from the original product
- They don’t define the product themselves. In fact they are additional products
- Shoelaces
- Shoe Polish
- Addons may have their own variations
- The analogy – a shoe store
-
Variations are additive – they must be selected
- Each product has each variation
- in the case of the shoes, 3 sizes and 3 colors
- each product has 18 variations
- Variations can be disabled
- however in order for them not to show you need to add some custom code
- this code will also hide variations that are out of inventory
- You might split the products up in order to decrease the variations
- You must select from each variation
- Each product has each variation
-
Understanding Addons
- They are optional
- each Addon has a single set of variations
- However, you can’t tie Addon variations to product variations
