Options and variants
What it does
Use options to sell one item in several versions, such as Size with Small, Medium and Large. Lucrii makes a variant for each value combination.
The variants table lists each variant with a price, a cost and a quantity, with the average cost paid shown under the cost. Its Inventory cell shows the amount left to sell after open sales orders take what they have reserved, as in “4 available”.
You edit the Variants card on the create form and on the edit form. The item page shows it read-only, once the options make at least one full combination.
Before you start
| Limit | Up to |
|---|---|
| Options on an item | 3 |
| Variants on an item | 2,048 |
| Values in an option | 2,048. Lucrii refuses more on save. |
| An option name or value, or a variant’s SKU | 100 characters |
| A variant title | 255 characters |
- A new option name or value can’t contain
|, since an Items export separates values with it. - Deleting a variant is final once you save the item.
- A stock adjustment skips any variant that is not tracking inventory.
How to use it
- Open the item’s Variants card and select Add option.
- Type a name into Option name. Type each value into the Add another value box and press Enter.
- Select Done to collapse the option. The variants table fills in underneath, with a row for each combination.
- Set a price on any variant that sells for a different price from the item.
- Drag the handle at the left of an option or a value to reorder it.
To remove variants, select their rows, open the row menu and choose Delete Variants. To adjust variant stock, select the rows, open the same menu and choose Adjust Stock.
Troubleshooting
Add option is gone, and a line says which limit you reached. The item has three options or 2,048 variants.
The Add another value box is gone, and a line reads “Maximum 2,048 variants reached”. One more value would cross the variant limit.
“Variant Title must be 255 characters or fewer.” shows under the variants. The option values make a title longer than 255 characters. Shorten the values to save the item.
The card says “An option name can’t contain |.” or “An option value can’t contain |.” when you add a value or select Done. Remove the |. On save, Lucrii also refuses a | in a name or value you changed.
A line above the variants says they may be out of date. Lucrii cannot refresh the variants right now. The rows on screen are the last ones it loaded. Try again in a moment.
