  1. Items & Catalog Management

Variations & Modifiers

Create item variations using modifiers to offer customers customizable options like sizes, colors, and features for a single product.

Key Benefits#

Flexible Product Options - Support multiple variants of the same item with unique pricing and availability
Simplified Inventory Management - Manage variations under one main item with individual stock control
Enhanced Customer Experience - Provide customers with selectable options during checkout

Variation Types#

Items can vary based on different attributes to create multiple versions:
Modifiers - Custom options like size, color, or material that create distinct product variants
Time - Time-based variations for different session lengths or service durations

Managing Modifiers#

Create modifier categories and values to organize your item variations systematically.
Modifier Categories - Logical groupings like "Size", "Color", or "Material" that contain related options
Modifier Values - Individual options within each category such as "Small", "Medium", "Large"
Using API
Create modifier categories using Create Modifier Category with organized modifier values

Creating Variations#

When creating an item with variations, specify the variation type and configure the unique attributes for each variant:
Main Variant - The primary item that inherits the base name and description
Variant Title - Descriptive titles that differentiate variants (auto-generated from modifier combinations)
Individual Pricing - Each variant can have its own price, stock level, and availability

Customer Usage#

Common Use Cases: Product configurators, service time slots, location-based pricing, subscription tiers with different features

Browse Variants#

Customers see all available variations when viewing an item, with real-time stock and pricing updates.

Select Options#

During checkout, customers choose their preferred variant options before adding items to cart.
Using API
Configure variations using Create Item or Update Item with variation and modifiers_ids parameters

Merchant Integration#

For modifier and variation management operations, see the Item Modifiers documentation.
