Reusability
Variations are reusable, and you can attach the same variation to any number of products. You can also create a link between the existing variation and a new product. The following scenario provides an example:
- Create a variation
shoe sizeand add five options in the variation. - Create a product
shoe 1and link the variationshoe sizeto the product. - Create second product,
shoe 2and link the variationshoe sizeto this product as well. - Create a third product
shoe 3and do not link any variation to this product.
shoe 1 and shoe 2 inherit the properties of shoe size variation, allowing you to build child products with these options. However, you cannot build child products for shoe 3 unless you assign a variation with at least one option to the product.
