What you should see
Customers select a valid combination before adding it to the cart. The selected variant determines the quoted product data.
Good to know
- A direct Add action can add a simple product immediately; a product needing a choice must ask for that choice first.
- Do not reuse a SKU already assigned to a product or another variant.
- Changing options after sales can affect catalogue consistency; preserve historical orders.
Need help?
- Product opens instead of adding? Check whether it needs variation selection.
- Selected variant unavailable? Verify that variant’s stock, not just the parent product.
