How to save time when adding product variations to Ozcart

If you have a product range with a large number of identical variations (like rings or bras that come in a number of sizes, or a customized product where you need to accept a file upload field to make customers select their own design on each product), it can be extremely frustrating adding each of the product variations to each product as you put them into your online store.  Now you don’t have to worry, as Ozcart lets you create pre-saved groups of product variations which you can bulk add to a product in just a few clicks.

There is plenty of flexibility in this setup, so you can either keep your group pegged to the “master” group of options that you saved (so if the master group changes so do the variations on your product) or separately add them so that they can be edited to be different from the original master group (which is useful if you are adding stock levels to each of the product option combinations).

Lets take a look at how easy this is to implement in Ozcart.

  1. First up, you add your store-wide (global) product options to your store. There is a Global Options choice in the Ozcart administration panel Products menu.
  2. You can set up everything about the new global option from the admin panel including the type of input fields that are used to display global options are presented (dropdown box versus radio boxes, etc.), whether stock levels will be attached to this option, etc. For example: The way the global options will be presented:
    Global Options
  3. The variations that will be added and any modifiers that apply (e.g. extra weight or extra price for those options):Global Options
  4. Once you have your options set up, you can add them to your products in just a click of a mouse on the product screen’s Options tab, where there’s an option to just select the global options that you have created. No further configuration is required. They’re just added!

If you have a large number of product variations, this can save you considerable time with the workflow for your business and save you countless hours managing your store.
