Variant options, which distinguish different versions of a product, are essential for offering a diverse product range. Here’s a guide to handling variant options during the import process:

When Your File Has a Column for Variant Options

• Map Essential Fields:

• When mapping fields, map the parent_id.

• You will see variant_options available for mapping.

• Map variant_options to the corresponding attributes in your file.

When Your File Lacks a Column for Variant Options

• Import the File:
• Start by importing your file.
• Click on “Map Essential Fields”.
• Map the product_id and parent_id.
• Click “Save & Proceed”.
• Configure All Fields:
• In the “Configure All Fields” section, click on “Add a Custom Attribute”.
• Name this attribute to reflect the variant options (e.g., “variant_options”).
• Add Transformation: Click on “Add Transformation”.
• Select “Set” and add attribute names in the text box as comma-separated values (e.g., color, size).
• Click on Save as draft
• Final Mapping:
• Go back to “Map Essential Fields”.
• Map the newly created variant_options.
• Click “Save & Proceed” and then map other attributes in “Save and Import”.

Important Notes

For the attribute that you mapped as variant options

• Always check the “multivalued” box.

• Ensure the data type is set to “text”.
