🎨 Setting Product Variations

Some products come in different sizes, colors, materials, or styles. You can list all variations under one product page instead of creating separate listings.

🧩 Step 6: Select Product Type as “Variable Product”

1. In the product editor, locate the Product Type dropdown.

2. Select “Variable Product.”

This activates the Attributes and Variations tabs.

🧱 Step 7: Add Product Attributes

Attributes define what varies between versions of your product — e.g., size, color, or fabric.

1. Go to the Attributes tab.

2. Click “Add New Attribute.”

3. Enter a name (e.g., Size or Color).

4. Add attribute values separated by a “|” (pipe symbol).
   Example:

   • Size: Small | Medium | Large

   • Color: Red | Blue | Black

5. Check the box “Used for Variations.”

6. Click “Save Attributes.”

✅ Tip: Keep your attribute names simple and clear — customers should understand them at a glance.

🔢 Step 8: Create Variations

1. Go to the Variations tab.

2. Click “Add Variation” → “Create Variations from All Attributes.”

3. The system will automatically generate combinations (e.g., Red–Small, Red–Medium).

4. For each variation, you can set:

   • Regular Price

   • Sale Price

   • Stock Quantity

   • SKU (Stock Keeping Unit)

   • Image (specific to that variation, if desired)

✅ Example:

🧾 Step 9: Set Variation Stock and Visibility

You can manage inventory at the variation level:

• Check “Manage Stock” under each variation.

• Set the stock quantity.

• Choose Stock Status (In Stock / Out of Stock).

• Click “Save Changes.”

✅ Tip: Keeping stock accurate by variation helps avoid confusion or cancellations.

🖼️ Step 10: Add Variation Images

For visual clarity:

• Upload unique images for each variation (e.g., color or design).

• Customers will see the correct photo when they select a variation.

✅ Tip: Consistent lighting and angles across variation images improve the shopping experience.

🚚 Setting Shipping Options

Shipping settings determine how products are delivered, how much shipping costs, and which zones or couriers you serve.

🚛 Step 11: Open Shipping Settings

1. From your vendor dashboard, go to Products → Edit Product.

2. Scroll to the Shipping section.

⚖️ Step 12: Add Product Weight and Dimensions

Enter accurate details — they’re used to calculate shipping costs:

• Weight: e.g., 1.2 kg

• Dimensions: Length, Width, Height (in cm)

✅ Tip: Always use real measurements — couriers use them to determine delivery fees.

📦 Step 13: Choose a Shipping Class

Depending on your store’s setup, you may see Shipping Classes such as:

• Standard Delivery

• Express Delivery

• Heavy Items

• Fragile Goods

Select the class that best fits your product.

✅ Example:
A glass vase should be assigned to Fragile Goods to ensure extra care in handling.

🌍 Step 14: Define Shipping Zones or Methods

If your store supports custom zones:

1. Go to Dashboard → Settings → Shipping.

2. Choose where you deliver:

   • Local deliveries (within Nigeria)

   • Nationwide

   • International (if allowed)

3. Add shipping methods for each zone:

   • Flat Rate (fixed cost)

   • Free Shipping (for promotions)

   • Local Pickup (customer collects from your shop)

✅ Example:

• Lagos → Flat Rate ₦2,000

• Abuja → Flat Rate ₦3,000

• Free shipping for orders above ₦30,000

💳 Step 15: Offer Free or Discounted Shipping

To encourage larger purchases, you can create rules such as:

• Free shipping for orders over a certain amount.

• Discounted rates for specific locations.

✅ Tip: Mention your shipping perks clearly in your Product Description to attract more customers.

After entering all shipping details:

1. Click “Save Draft” or “Update.”

2. Preview the product page to ensure:

   • Prices show correctly
