Steps
- Open Variation Groups. Open the drawer, tap Admin, and under Catalog tap Variation Groups.
- Add a group. Tap + Add Group and type the Group name, such as Size or Colour.
- Add the values. Fill in Value 1, Value 2 and so on, for example Small, Medium, Large. Tap Add value for another row, or the red minus to remove one.
- Save. Tap Add (or Save when editing).
- Use it on a product. Create a product With variations, choose this Variation group and enter a price for each value.
- Sell it. When staff tap the product, Select Variation asks them to choose a size or option. In QSR Mode each variation gets its own button.
Good to know
This screen holds the option names only; prices live on each product. Renaming a value renames it on every product that uses the group, which is useful for fixing a typo but worth checking before you change Small to Regular. Each row in the list shows the group's values and how many products use it.
- A group can't be deleted while products still use it.
- Each group needs at least one value.
- Use modifier groups, not variations, for add-ons such as extra cheese.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between variations and modifiers?
A variation is a version of the item with its own price, such as a Large pizza. A modifier is an add-on chosen on top, such as extra cheese for $1.50. Use Variation Groups for sizes and Modifier Groups for extras.
Why can't I delete a variation group?
Products still use it. Change or remove those products first; the list shows how many products use each group.
