Add The MANTIS Continuous Flow (CF) Chip as A Variable Product

The MANTIS Continuous Flow (CF) chip comes in different packs, and our customers can choose to buy it in a pack of three or six. You must create a variable product record to help them navigate the product and its variant. In this tutorial, you will learn how to:

• Add the MANTIS chip as the parent product.

• Add the MANTIS CF chip in a pack of three and six.

The eStore supports these variants. Commonly, product variants have the following components:

• Parent Product—this is the primary product to which variants belong. In this example, “Replacement MANTIS CF Chip” is the parent product.

• Child/Variant— define the variants via product options. In this example, the pack of three and six are the child/variant of the MANTIS CF Chip. But it could also be color, size, or a combination thereof.

• Attribute—each product variant must have one or more specific attributes to give customers a better description. Attribute settings are available in the Attributes table. See also, Add Attribute Information
