Configuration of Variants
Here we find again, some of the parameters mentioned before, except the Fields for items in table mode. Select and match the corresponding fields and activate the parameter to allow purchase orders if desired.
Note that if you have no variant name, you will have to leave the title field empty and by default, the product title will be sent. Also, if you meet the conditions explained in the variants output data section, you can choose the option to view the variant fields using selectors. By clicking "Yes" in the Show fields as selectors field:
Warning: Selectors are available only with less than 10 configurable attributes (without counting the base attribute: reference, title, image, price) and when there are no long text fields, files pack, and images. With the option configured to “No”, the legacy table mode will be used to display product variants.
This option allows users to view fields with the selectors or switch to Table mode if preferred:
And revert that view by hitting View as selectors again:
To finish configuring this section, click on Edit extended configuration:
- Searchable fields: here you can select the fields that you want the search engine to take into account for the searches.
- Position of the variant table within the product sheet: with this parameter, you can decide where you want to display the variants in table mode, whether you want to see the table above the general product information, or after the general product information.
- Variant sorting field: allows us to choose how we want to sort our variants. We can choose the field and decide whether we want the sorting to be ascending or descending.
Note: Please, note that the option to order variants will be available only if variants are not merged with products.
To finish the variants section in the Details tab, we have the parameter "Allow orders to be created". If you have this functionality and you want to activate the possibility of purchase, set the parameter to "Yes".
Once we have this ready we can configure the parameters related to the currency and the form to be completed by the user when placing the purchase order.
