Conditional logic for product variants
Conditional logic for product variants lets you decide which options to display based on your customers’ choices.
In other words, the choices for subsequent product variants will be based on another variant’s selection.
Example: For a T-shirt, selecting the color “Red” will show all sizes available in this color.
This approach ensures that customers are only shown relevant options, resulting in a personalized shopping experience that fulfills their individual needs.
Please note: When setting up conditional logic with a quantity selector, quantity has to be applied to the latter variant type. In this case, a quantity selector would be applied to sizes.
How to set up conditional logic for product variants?
- From your Checkout Page dashboard, click on your checkout and navigate to the Variants tab
- Click Add variant and set up at least two product variants
- Click on a variant that you would like to make conditional and scroll down to open the Settings section
