What are standard product variations

In this article, we'll provide a brief overview of the standard product variation.

Standard product variations and image product variations are the two basic and most commonly used types of variations.

With standard product variations, you can easily create dropdown lists of selectable options for your products, such as different sizes, colours, or additional features.

You also have the option to adjust the unit price based on the variation option selected by your customer. For example, you might charge extra for larger sizes or special features.

You can add multiple standard variations to a single product.

For instance, let's say you sell chocolate boxes that come in different sizes and have the option of being gift wrapped. You could create one standard variation named 'Gift wrapped' with options 'Yes' and 'No'. Selecting 'Yes' could add £2 to the base price of the product.

After setting up your 'Gift wrapped' variation, you can create another variation for 'Size', allowing customers to choose the box size in addition to gift wrapping. For example, selecting a medium size could increase the price by £5.

When you've set up all your variations, they will appear clearly under your product. The total price will automatically adjust based on the options selected by your customer.

Note: Any price adjustments you enter modify the base price by the amount you specify—they don't replace the base price. For instance, if your product's base price is £10 and you want a variation to increase it to £12, you should set the price adjustment as an increase of £2, not £12.
