Choosing an option changes the product page
Each option is a separate product. Linking them lets customers move from one product page to another. Each product keeps its own descriptions, media and product information in its own record.
Standard: products under one heading
- Create a group heading under Product → Product Variations.
- Select the existing products to show in the group.
- Save the group. The products appear as options on each other’s pages.
When should you use it?
Use Standard when related products should appear in a single option group. You do not need subheadings or product values.
Variation Pro: headings and product values
Start with an overall group heading, such as T-shirts. Then add subheadings such as Colour, Length or Size. Assign the corresponding values to each product in the group. One product can have values under multiple headings.
| Example product | Assigned values |
|---|---|
| Red T-shirt — separate product record | Colour: Red · Size: M · Length: 70 cm |
| Blue T-shirt — separate product record | Colour: Blue · Size: L · Length: 74 cm |
“Pro” is not a plan requirement
Variation Pro is available to everyone. Here, Pro is the name of the variation structure, not a requirement to purchase a Pro plan.
Choose the right structure
- Standard links existing products under a single heading.
- Variation Pro presents products using headings and values such as colour, length or size.
- Within-product variations handle combinations with their own stock and price within a single product.
