What are consolidated variations?

In this article, we'll provide a brief explanation of what 'consolidated variations' are.

A consolidated variation allows you to group multiple versions of a product under a single listing while offering customers a simplified selection process through dropdown menus.

If you wish, you can adjust the initial price of the product. This adjusts the base price before the selected variation's value is added, if applicable.

Imagine you sell different sizes of classic jeans. You wish to create a variation as part of your main product called 'Sizes'.

When you add a consolidated variation, you define two attributes as columns:

  • Column A: Represents the waist width of the jeans (28, 30, 32, 34, etc.).
  • Column B: Represents the length of the jeans (30, 32, 34, etc.).

Once you've entered the available options in your Webshop's product editor, all possible combinations are generated automatically for your customers.

When customers view the product on your website, they do not see a long list of variations. Instead, they have access to two dropdown menus and will be able to match the waist and length sizes you specified in the editor:

  • Waist (Menu A): Where they can select the waist size.
  • Length (Menu B): Where they can select the length size.

This system provides a smoother shopping experience for customers and more efficient inventory management for you.
