Product attributes and variants

Define attributes such as size and colour, then generate variant combinations for an existing product or build a new product with variants.

Updated 12 September 2026

An attribute is a property of a product, such as size or colour. Variants are the real sellable combinations built from those properties. A shirt in three sizes and two colours is one product with two attributes and six variants. You do not need six separate products.

Create an attribute

  1. Go to the left navigation panel.
  2. Click Inventory.
  3. Open Product Attributes.
  4. Click Add New Attributes.

Then:

  • Enter the Attribute Name, for example Colour, Size or Material.
  • Enter the Attribute Values, for example red, blue and green, or small, medium and large.
  • Click Add Another Value for each additional value.
  • Click Add Attribute to save, or Reset to clear the form.

The attributes page also has Import Attributes, a search box, page numbers and Export Data. Use the options menu on a row to edit the name or to change or add values. Then click Update Attribute to save.

Enter each value once and spell it the same way every time. If you enter both “Blue” and “blue”, Kuver Books creates two separate variants, and neither will be complete.

Create variants for an existing product

  1. Open Inventory, then Variant Products.
  2. Click Add New Variants.
  3. Select Existing Item Variant.
  4. Pick the product from the Product Name dropdown.
  5. Click Add New Property and enter the attribute name and its values.
  6. Click Add New Property again for each further attribute.
  7. Click Generate the Variants.

Kuver Books creates every possible combination. Each one is listed with a purchase price and a selling price taken from the existing product setup. Variant names come from the attributes, for example Headset Large Blue. Check the table, then click Create Variant to save, or Cancel to discard.

If a product does not appear in the dropdown, it already has variants. To add or change its variants, open it from the Variant Products list.

Create a new product with variants

  1. Open Inventory, then Variant Products.
  2. Click Add New Variants.
  3. Select New Product with Variant.
  4. Read the confirmation popup and click Add Variants.

The normal product form opens. Build the base product first, with its category and pricing, then define the variants. You do not have to finish the variants at once. You can come back to Variant Products later to add more.

Reading the variant list

The Variant Products table shows the code, product name, VAT percentage, the number of variants and a view action. You can filter by date range, stock status and VAT, and export to XLSX, PDF or CSV.
