Product Variations
Product Variations allow you to sell different versions of the same product, such as different colors, sizes, flavors, materials, or designs, under a single product.
Each variation is treated as its own purchasable SKU and can have its own pricing and inventory.
Adding Variations
Create or edit a Variable Product.
Open the Variations tab.
Click Add Variation.
Enter the variation details.
For each variation, you can configure:
Variation Name (for example, Color, Size, Flavor)
Variation Value (for example, Red, Medium, Vanilla)
SKU
Purchase Price
Selling Price
Profit Margin
Each row represents a unique variation that can be purchased and sold independently.
Example
Name | Value | SKU |
Flavor | Green | 68705-1 |
Flavor | Purple | 68705-2 |
Flavor | Red | 68705-3 |
Flavor | Yellow | 68705-4 |
Pricing by Pack Unit
If your product has bulk units (such as Case or Container), IsleBooks POS automatically calculates the selling price for each pack size based on the variation's unit price and multiplier.
You may override these calculated prices by entering a custom price for any pack unit.
For example:
Variation | Piece | Case (×24) | Container (×240) |
Green | 20.00 | 480.00 | 4,800.00 |
Purple | 20.00 | 480.00 | 4,800.00 |
Leave the field blank to use the automatically calculated price.
Multiple Attributes
Products can have more than one attribute by adding multiple variation names.
Example
Name | Value |
Color | Red |
Size | Large |
Material | Cotton |
Or, if you prefer, you can combine attributes into a single variation.
Example:
Name | Value |
Color / Size | Red / Large |
Color / Size | Blue / Medium |
Choose the approach that best fits your business and reporting requirements.
