BigCommerce variations settings

Modified on Tue, 31 Aug, 2021 at 5:41 PM

Variations settings allow combining multiple products in Valigara into one product in the BigCommerce-based website.

Different types of jewelry require different combinations of variations. For the fashion ring, the right variations would be the ring size and the stone color, for the diamond ring - the ring size, gold color and the central stone weight, and for the chain - the gold purity and the chain length.

Each variation group defines the unique combination of fields. After defining the variation groups, each product in the catalog is related to the specific group, and the variations on the BigCommerce website are generated accordingly.

Create variation group

go to Channels -> BigCommerce Settings
