Options and versions
Describe options like size and colour; every combination becomes a version with its own price and stock.
Updated
Options define the combinations, and versions are the combinations. You don't add versions one at a time: you describe the options, and every combination is created for you.
- Open the item and scroll to Options.
- Tick This product has options, like size or colour (worded for your item). Each combination becomes its own version, with its own price and stock.
- Type the option's name, such as Size, Colour or Material.
- Add its values: press Enter or type a comma after each, or paste a list such as "S, M, L". Duplicates are ignored.
- Add a second or third option if you need one. Three is the most.
- A preview shows how many versions will be created, with examples such as "Red / S".
- Save.
Editing versions: an item with several versions shows one line per version, with its SKU, price, was-price and stock. Type into them and save. The small arrow at the end of a row holds that version's barcode and Keep selling at zero stock.
A version's name, such as "Red / M", can't be edited: change the option values instead.
Changing options later:
- Adding a value keeps every combination you already had, with its prices and stock. Only new combinations start empty; they take the item's price, was-price and back-order setting, but never a SKU, barcode or stock count.
- Removing a value removes its combinations, with their prices and stock.
- Unticking the options box returns the item to a single version, and per-version prices and stock are lost. Syniria asks first.
Limits: 3 options, 100 values per option, and 100 versions per item.
