What is the Variants module?

The Variants module helps you manually group related products together, making it easier to manage product variants efficiently.

How does it work?

The module allows you to either:

• Make Products Independent: Manage each product separately.
• Create Product Groups: Group related products together as variants under a single product model.

Use Case: Creating and Managing Product Variants

Let’s say your suppliers send you new products, and you need to organize them. Here’s how the Variants module can help:

Access Your Products: On the left side of the screen, you’ll find all your products. This is where you start organizing them.

Create Independent Products or Product Groups:

• To treat each product separately, select the products and click "Make independent."
• To group products as variants, click "Create a product model."

Defining the Product Model:

• Once you group products, an ID for your product model will be automatically generated.
• You will also need to choose which attributes (like Price or EAN) will vary within the group.
• For Akeneo PIM customers, the variant attributes are automatically selected by the Akeneo connector, so no manual selection is needed.

Editing Product Models:

• You can always edit your product model by adding or removing products. Simply use the buttons "Add to product model" or "Remove from product model."
