Sizes, weights and other variants

When one product is really several, and how the price follows.

User guide
These guides describe implemented workflows. You still need an account and access to the product; individual features can have separate requirements.

Where: Dashboard, Catalog, a product

A variant is the same product in a different size, weight or pack. Each carries its own price and its own stock, and the shopper chooses one before adding to their bag.

Before you continue
If a product has variants, the buyer must pick one. Each option owns its stock count. Leave a new option's count blank only if you do not track its stock; zero means sold out. Change a saved option's count in Inventory, separately from its name and price.

If you set a low-stock level on a product, each size shows how few of it are left once it drops to that level, and a size that has sold out is struck through but still listed, so a shopper can see you stock it.

Once a shopper scrolls past the buy button on a product page, a bar at the bottom of the screen keeps the product within reach. After they pick an option it names that option and its price, and its button adds that option to the bag. If the option they picked is sold out, the bar says so and does not add it. Until they pick one, it takes them back to the options.

On a product page the bar is there whenever the buy button is off the screen, which on a phone can be from the moment the page opens. On a home page that features one product, as Kaksha's does and Lipi's featured course does, the bar waits until the shopper has scrolled past that product's own buy button, and goes away again if they scroll back above it.
