How to use the Variant Group field? (✔️ Add )

1. Variant Group is NOT a compulsory field. It supports multiple columns. For example, you can scroll to the last part and refer. 

2. A variant group is made to manage a group of products that are together under the same name and that will have several common attributes but some variation. 

3. The above example contains clothes in different sizes and quantities. But products with the same Var ID can be assigned to the Variant Group and Variant Option as Size. So, it can be listed as a single product. 

There are a few settings for this field which are:

1. Auto sort

It will sort out the variant group before importing. When unable the toggle button will not sort out the variant group.

Variant Option 1/2/3

Variant Option will be used when there is a Variant Group field. So when you set the Variant Group field, you must set the Variant Option field as well. 

Based on the above figure, you need at least 1 Variant Option (Variant Option 1) to use a Variant Group.

"Add Field" for the variant, then select Variant Option 1/2/3 and map to the variant column field in your file, for example, size, color, etc.

There are a few settings for this field which are:

1. Option Name

It will create the name for the variant option referring to the feed file, which has different attributes for a group of variants: Size or Colour. 

When your feed Option column is according to the image below, you can use Mapping and enter the field name. If it uses the fixed value, then it can be chosen as a fixed value and enter the Option name. 

2. Case Convert

It will help you to convert the text between different letter cases easily. 

For example:

this is a SAMPLE

All lower case: this is a sample

All upper case: THIS IS A SAMPLE

Titleize case: This Is A Sample

If you want to clear html tags can use Clean up all HTML tags. 

3.  Find

Find multiple words or phrases separated by a comma. Search will match any word to find any part of the word, including * 

For example:

(Find: *man) will include - woman, manicure etc from the feed file

The Find field also supports regular expressions

*<a href=.?>,<a id=.?>,</a>*
