Understanding Product Variants
Product variants let your customers choose from different options, like colours or sizes, for a specific product. Each variant you create can have its own stock keeping unit (SKU) and price, which helps keep your inventory and pricing organised.
Setting Up Variants for Your Products
Setting up variants involves a few detailed steps in Squarespace's interface:
- Navigate to Your Product Editor: Access your store page via the Pages panel, then double-click a product to open its editor.
- Add or Edit Variants:
- In the product editor, scroll down to the Inventory section and click on Variants
- Click Add to introduce new variants or Edit all to modify existing ones
- Define Product Options:
- Select from predefined options such as size or colour, or create a custom category
- Add option values (e.g., small, medium, large for size) by typing them into the Variants field
- For creating new option categories, click Add option and fill in the details
- Upload Images and Assign SKUs:
- Click the upload icon to assign distinct images to each variant
- Customise the SKU under each variant to sync with your inventory system
- Set Prices and Stock:
- Enter the regular and sale prices
- Define the stock quantity or select 'Unlimited' if applicable
- Save Your Changes: Make sure all new configurations are saved before exiting the editor
Pixelhaze Tip: If you're adding option values with commas, paste the text into the editor rather than typing it. This stops Squarespace from cutting off your variant names halfway through.
