Variations let you create a single parent product that comes in multiple versions — like a T-shirt available in Small, Medium, Large, and XL, or a phone case in different colors. Each variation has its own SKU and can have its own price.
Setting Up Variation Templates
- Go to Products → Variations → Add Variation
- Name the variation type
e.g. "Size", "Color", "Storage Capacity" - Add the values
e.g. for Size: Small, Medium, Large, XL, XXL. For Color: Red, Blue, Green, Black. - Save the variation template
Adding a Variable Product
- Go to Products → Add Product
- Set Product Type to "Variable"
- 3Select the variation template
e.g. "Size" — the form will automatically create fields for each variation value. - Set price and SKU for each variation
Each variant (Small, Medium, Large) can have its own purchase price, selling price, and barcode/SKU. Stock is tracked separately per variant. - Save
On the POS screen, when you add this product to a sale, a popup will ask the customer to select the variation (e.g. which size).
At the POS screen, variable products show a selection prompt so staff can choose the specific variant before adding it to the cart. Stock is deducted from the specific variant, not the parent product.
