Active/Inactive Variants
Active/Inactive Variants allows you to control what variants are shown to users on a store. Setting the active/inactive variants for a product can be done within the Active/Inactive Variants option found within the Import tab.
To set what variants are active/inactive, you must first select a website. The variant changes you make will only apply to the selected website. After you've selected a website, you'll need to select an import preference. Colorwise uses the name of the variant to match (e.g. Graphite Heather) whereas variant SKU uses the variant SKU of the variant to match (e.g. 110293).
From there, you'll select an import method. There are two ways to set the active/inactive variants:
Selecting "Input" under the "Import" option and manually entering in the product name and selecting the variants you'd like to be active
Selecting "Upload File" under the "Import" option and uploading an excel by using the "Active lnactive Variants Import" upload
Input Active/Inactive Variants Import Method
To manually input active/inactive variants, you'll need to first select "Input" under the "Import" option found within the Active/Inactive Variants dialog box. From there, click "Add a line" and manually enter in the name of the product you'd like to modify. If the product exists on the site, it will appear on a dropdown.
Select it from the dropdown, then go to the "Colors" tab. Clicking the "Colors" tab will show a dropdown of colors for the product. Select what colors you'd like to be active for the product.
If you'd like to edit more products, click "Add a line" and enter in products as you'd like. Once you're finished, check "Variant Active". If you'd like to deactivate variants that weren't selected, check "Inactive Other Variants" after checking "Variant Active".
Excel Upload Active/Inactive Variants Import Method
To use an excel sheet to change active/inactive variants, you'll need to first select "Upload File" under the "Import" option found within the Active/Inactive Variants dialog box.
