In Selling Manager Pro, on the Product Inventory page, click the Create Product button.

To create a product with variations, select the Product with variations option.

On the Create Product page enter:

• The product name (required)

• A custom label (SKU), if you use one

• The folder you want to save the product in

• Optionally, a restock alert and notes to remind you to order more items when they’re close to selling out.

Click the Create variations button to continue. To save as a draft, click the Save for later button.

Select a category, and then click the Continue button.

Define variation details. Specify the areas where your product has differences. Select from the list of details or enter your own variation detail by clicking the Add your own variation detail button.

Example: If you’re selling a product in small, medium and large, click Size and then select S, M, and L.

• You can select up to 5 variation details. If a detail doesn’t apply to your items, ignore it.

• When you specify variation details, use common words that buyers will search for, such as size and color. Buyers will use these details to find your items.

• The first variation you select will be the variation that you’ll display in your pictures. Be sure to choose a variation such as color or sleeve style instead of size or manufacturer.

• When you’re done with this step, click the Continue button.

Select item specifics from the list. Item specifics are characteristics that apply to all the items in the listing. Brand, Manufacturer, and Style are examples of typical item specifics.

Example: If all the items in your listing are made of cotton, select Material from the drop-down menu, and then click Cotton.

• The variation details you defined in step 1 do not appear in the item specifics list, and you cannot add them to the list.

  Example: If you’ve already selected Color as a variation detail, you can’t enter it as an item specific.

• The more item specifics you use, the easier it is for your buyers to find your items.

• If an item specific you need doesn’t appear in the list you can add it by clicking the Add your own item specific button and entering a unique item specific name (such as Manufacturer or Year) and at least one value (such as Acme or 1998).

• If an item specific doesn’t apply to your items, ignore it or click the Remove button.

• When you’re done with this step, click the Continue button.

Create variations. Optionally, enter a unique name, custom label or stock-keeping unit (SKU) to help you keep track of your product.

• Click Create variations. We’ll automatically create a list of all the possible variations of your items. Edit the list to remove any variations you don’t want until the list includes only the items you’re selling.

• If needed, add variations to your product by clicking the Add button.

• You can also create your list of variations manually by entering a name or SKU in the table and then selecting from the drop-down menus until you generate a list of the items you’re selling.

• When you’re done with this step, click the Save button.

From the list of variations, select the variations you want to include in your template.

Click the Create new template link. You are directed to the create template flow.

Select the category you want to list in. You will only see a selection of categories in which you can list with variations.

Add shared and variation pictures and update quantity and price by clicking the Add pictures, quantity, and price button.
