How to set up product sizes and colors

To set up sizes and colors in RoninBox, you create a variation (also called an option), such as Size or Color, and add its values: S, M, L or Red, Black. Then you select it on each product sold that way, and RoninBox generates a variant for each combination. Usually you create them once and reuse them.

Where to find them

Open Shop ▸ Product variations. The list shows each option with its values. Each row has a pencil to edit and a trash can to delete.

The list of variations. Each option shows its values.

Create a variation

1. Tap Create option (marker 1).

2. Enter the Name, for example Size or Color (marker 1 on the form).

3. Under Values, enter the first value and tap Add value for each additional value (marker 2). The trash can next to each value removes it.

4. Tap Save.

Under Advanced options you’ll find the internal code. If you leave it blank, it’s generated from the name.

Use it on a product

When you create a product, select the options it’s sold in and generate its variants. If an option has no values, no combinations can be generated.

Edit or delete

• You can add new values to an option at any time. To create the new variants on an existing product, use Generate the missing combinations in its variants step.
• You can’t remove a value that variants already use or delete an option that products use: RoninBox tells you how many.

Common mistakes

• My size doesn’t show up on the product. A product’s options can’t be changed once it has variants. Create a new product or add the value to the existing option.
• I have duplicate options, like two “Size” options. Each one is independent. Use the same one across all your products to avoid duplicating values.
