Variants

Creation of variants is available only in the Create mode, when you import new products.

To group multiple variants into a single product, you need to configure at least two fields:

1. Variant Group - a field that has the same value for all variants of a specific product, usually the product name, parent SKU, or parent ID

2. Variant Option - a property that distinguishes variants, e.g. color, size, material

If your products have more than one feature that determine variants, you can add more variant options.

In XML format, if variants are already nested within a product element, you can specify a Variant Element instead of Variant Group.

Example

Assume you want to import a CSV file with the following columns:

• sku

• name

• color

• size

• price

sku	name	color	size	price
TSRS	T-Shirt	Red	S	25.00
TSRM	T-Shirt	Red	M	25.00
TSRL	T-Shirt	Red	L	25.00
TSGS	T-Shirt	Green	S	25.00
TSGM	T-Shirt	Green	M	25.00
TSGL	T-Shirt	Green	L	25.00
HDBS	Hoodie	Blue	S	55.00
HDBM	Hoodie	Blue	M	55.00
HDBL	Hoodie	Blue	L	55.00

To import these items as products with variants, you need the following mapping:

• Title: name

• SKU: sku

• Variant Group: name

• Variant Option 1

  • Name: Color

  • Value: color

• Variant Option 2

  • Name: Size

  • Value: size

• Price: price

CSV data mapping to import variants with color and size options

Running the automation on the example CSV file will create 2 products:

• T-Shirt (6 variants)

  • Red / S

  • Red / M

  • Red / L

  • Green / S

  • Green / M

  • Green / L

• Hoodie (3 variants)

  • Green / S

  • Green / M

  • Green / L

Imported product - T-Shirt with 6 variants

Imported product - Hoodie with 3 variants
