Variants and Attributes

This section is used when you want to offer multiple variations of the same product — for example, different sizes, colors, quantities, or packaging types. Each variation (also called a variant) can have its own specific details, pricing, and stock information.

Varients

1. Unit Count

• The number of units being sold in this specific variant.
• Example: If you're selling a pack of 3 t-shirts together, enter 3.
• Purpose: Helps define the exact bundle or unit size the buyer is purchasing.

2. Images

• What to upload: Upload images that represent this particular variant.
• How to use: You can drag and drop images directly into the box or use the upload button.
• Tip: Upload images that show the correct color, size, or packaging of the variant, especially if it’s visually different from others.

3. Price & MRP

• Price: The selling price at which the product will be sold to customers.
• MRP (Maximum Retail Price): The maximum price printed on the packaging (often higher than the actual selling price).
• Tip: Always ensure Price ≤ MRP, or the listing might be flagged.

4. Package Weight

• The weight of the complete package including product + packaging material, in kilograms or grams.
• Why important: This is crucial for logistics partners to calculate shipping charges accurately.
• Tip: Use a weighing scale to get the actual shipping-ready package weight.

5. SKU / GTIN / EAN

• Product identification codes, if available.
• SKU (Stock Keeping Unit): Internal tracking code used by your warehouse/inventory system.
• GTIN / EAN: Standardized global product barcodes (like those on retail products).
• Optional: But highly recommended for inventory tracking and integrations.

6. Product Weight

• The net weight of the actual product (excluding packaging).
• Unit: Typically in grams or kilograms.
• Why it matters: Some platforms or customers prefer knowing actual product weight for bulk orders or custom needs.

7. Package Dimensions

• Enter the Length, Width, and Height of the complete packaged product.
• Unit: In centimeters (cm).
• Tip: Use a measuring tape and always include the full box/package to get accurate values.
• Why it's needed: Required for estimating volumetric weight in logistics calculations.

8. Min/Max Purchase Limit

• Min Limit: Minimum quantity the customer can buy per order.
• Max Limit: Maximum quantity allowed per order.
• Use case: Useful if you want to sell in bulk or restrict quantity per customer (e.g., in B2B or discounted sales).

9. Standard Package Quantity

• Set the typical number of units that come in one package.
• Example: If you sell 1 soap bar in a package, enter 1. If you sell a box of 6, enter 6.

Why important: Helps define packaging norms and is helpful for inventory and shipping.
