 Please Note: You can only add up to two variant types to a product. Adding three or more variant types is currently disabled, as it can create a large amount of data that significantly slows down the main app.

To convert a Product Variant into a Global Variant so that it can be used with other products, find that Variant Type in the Store Admin section of the Main App and press "Convert Into Global Variant".  See below:

Convert to Global Variant

 
On the next screen after pressing "Save & Exit", you will be able to add prices, SKU’s and Barcode ID’s by clicking "Edit".  SKU’s are manufacturer numbers that come preprinted on the product and Barcode ID’s are if you use your own SKU’s that are different from the mfg’s SKU’s.  Both of these fields are optional.

Global Vs Product Variants

What is the difference between the two? Global Variants are variants that can be used on all products. Usually this is something general or broad. Ex: Sizes, Color, etc.. 

Product Variants are more brand specific variations. Ex: Flavor, Product Types. etc.

What if I want to remove a variant type & replace it with a new type or add a location?

No problem. Simply click "Modify Product Variants & Locations." This will take you to the variants setup screen and keep your initial variant and location settings.

Existing options will show whether the variants are currently Active or Inactive for each location. If a product variant is Active, it will appear switched on. If it is Inactive, it will appear switched off.

To see your previous variants and locations attached to the product, utilize the Status filter options: Active, Inactive, All.

In the review step, you’ll see a negative icon if something was made Inactive or if a new location/product variant is Inactive. A neutral icon will appear if nothing changed. A positive icon will appear if something was turned on or if a new location or product option is on.

How to Add Inventory

First you will need to have inventory enabled on the product. Enable Inventory by clicking on the hamburger button then clicking "Enable Inventory".

From here, you can adjust the reorder point and the observed inventory count: 
 

 

Re-Order Point is relevant to Quicksight. You can filter on Quicksight items that need to be reordered. 

 

Example: I want to reorder chocolate chip Clif bars when I get down to 12 bars. You can set your reorder point to 12. When it is time to do your ordering, you can search your reorder points through a Quicksight report. If you set a reorder point for all of you products, this makes ordering a breeze!
