Product Variants Management

The products of two different subtypes can be created 'Product' and 'Product master'. If you define a product as a product master, then you can create product with variants.

Product variants are distinguished by the setup of their product dimensions. Thus before creating a product with variants you should set up product dimension groups.

If product variants contain up to two product dimensions, for example color and size, product variants can be shown in the webshop either in the dropdown or matrix display mode, depending on the option in the Sana Commerce backoffice catalog settings.

If product variants contain 3 - 4 product dimensions, for example color, size and style, product variants are shown in the webshop only in the dropdown display mode regardless of the 'Variants display mode' option in the Sana Commerce backoffice catalog settings.

To set up product dimension group click on: Product information management -> Setup -> Dimension groups -> Product dimension groups:


Product Dimension Groups Management

Product dimensions configuration, size, color and style define the physical characteristics of the products.

The product dimension group is required when you create a product of a 'Product master' subtype.

When the product master is created you should assign product dimensions to the product master:

Step 1: Go to: Product information management -> Common -> Products -> Released products.

Step 2: Find the necessary product of a product master subtype and on the 'Product' tab click on 'Product dimensions'.

Here you can define product dimensions for a product master.

The availability of the product dimensions (Color, Size, Style and Configuration) depends on the active dimensions on the dimension group that is associated with the product master.

After the product dimensions are assigned to the product master you can create product variants based on the product dimensions. To do this, switch to the 'Product' tab and click 'Released product variants'.

Use the 'Released product variants' form to create product variants:


Visible in Webshop Product Variants

Product variants as well as products and item groups can be made visible/ invisible in webshop.

In the webshop the product variants are shown on the product details page either in the matrix or dropdown display mode depending on the option in the Sana Commerce backoffice.
