Variants & Options

Most physical products come in variations — different sizes, colors, or materials. Sokobuni handles this through Options and Variants.

Options vs Variants

Options define the dimensions of variation (e.g. "Size", "Color").

Variants are the specific combinations (e.g. "Small / Red", "Large / Blue").

A product with options Size: S, M, L and Color: Red, Blue would have 6 variants (every combination).

Adding options

Open the product and scroll to "Variants"

In the Variants section, click "Add option" to create your first dimension of variation.

Name the option

Enter the option name: "Size", "Color", "Material", etc. Then add the values, one per line or comma-separated: "XS, S, M, L, XL".

Add more options if needed

Repeat for each dimension. Most products have 1–2 options. More than 3 options gets complex to manage.

Generate variants

Click "Generate variants". Sokobuni creates one variant for every combination of your options automatically.

Editing individual variants

After generating, you can edit each variant to:

Set a price — variants can have different prices (e.g. XL costs more than S)
Set a SKU — your internal product code for inventory management
Set stock quantity — how many units you have of each variant
Mark as out of stock — uncheck "Manage inventory" to always show as available

Pricing variants

You can set one price for all variants (simplest) or different prices per variant (e.g. for premium sizes):

Click the variant you want to price
Click + Add price
Select your currency (KES, USD, etc.)
Enter the amount

💡Tip

Enter prices as whole numbers without currency symbols. 2500 = KSh 2,500 on a Kenya-configured store, or $25.00 on a USD store. The currency is set per region in your store settings.

Single-variant products

If your product has no variation (e.g. a single-size item), skip the options step and just add one variant directly with a price. The storefront won't show a variant selector when there's only one.

Reordering and deleting variants

To reorder: drag the handle (⋮⋮) on the left of each variant row
To delete: open the variant, scroll to the bottom, click Delete. Orders placed for this variant won't be affected.
