Adding Variations to Configurable SKUs Manually

🚧

If you are using Customer Group Pricing or Increments & Packaging on your variations, it is best to create them as Simple Products first.

Make sure your simple skus have the Custom Attribute used as the Variation Value (Super Attribute) on the Configurable SKU.

Then you can link them to the existing Configurable SKu(s).

Step 1: Add Variation Values to the Configurable SKU.

Step 2: Link Products

NOTE: Zoey will autogenerate new Variation SKUs for any combination of the new Variation Values you just added.

Option 1: Use the autogenerated products and rename the SKU if desired. Add custom pricing and quantities here. If you are using Customer Group Pricing or Packaging, you will need to update these variation SKUs after saving.

Option 2: : Click Link Products and add existing Simple SKUs.

🚧

These Simple SKUs must have the same Custom Attribute Values as the Variation Values you just added to the Configurable SKU you are linking them to.
