Product details – Variations

Page: Products >> [product] >> Variations
Variations are products that are derived from a master product and that only differ in terms of the values of certain properties. A good example of this is items of clothing such as t-shirts or one type of jacket. Typical differentiating criteria include the properties size or colour.
The initial product is referred to as the master product, while the variations represent sub products or variation products. Variation products are completely separate self-contained products. You can modify any individual property if necessary.
Caution: If you delete the master product, all the derived variation products will be deleted as well.
Note: You cannot derive any further variations from a variation product.
The tab allows you to edit variation attributes and variation products, and to start the Variation assistant. See also Variation attributes, below, Variation products, below, and Product variation assistant, below.
You can read how to create variations in Creating a variation, below. You can read how to extend existing variations in Extending variations later, below.
