Variant Groups

Overview

Variant groups allow you to define different versions or options for your menu items, such as sizes (Small, Medium, Large) or types (Hot, Iced). Each variant group contains a set of variant options that can be applied to items.

How-To Guide

Creating a New Variant Group

1. Navigate to the 'Catalog' section in the sidebar and select 'Variant Groups'.
2. Click the "Add Variant Group" button.
3. Enter the Name (English) for your new variant group (e.g., "Coffee Sizes").
4. Optionally, provide a Name (Arabic).
5. Ensure "Set as Active" is toggled on if you want the group to be available immediately.
6. Click "Save Variant Group".
7. After saving the group, you will be able to add Options to it (e.g., "Small", "Medium", "Large"). For each option, you can define its name, price adjustment, SKU, and active status.

Editing an Existing Variant Group

1. Navigate to the 'Catalog' section in the sidebar and select 'Variant Groups'.
2. Find the variant group you wish to edit in the list.
3. Click the "Edit" icon (pencil) next to the group name.
4. Make the necessary changes to the group's details or its options.
5. Click "Save Variant Group" to apply your changes.

Deleting a Variant Group

1. Navigate to the 'Catalog' section in the sidebar and select 'Variant Groups'.
2. Find the variant group you wish to delete.
3. Click the "Delete" icon (trash can) next to the group name.
4. Confirm the deletion when prompted. Deleting a variant group will disassociate it from any items but will not delete the individual variant options.

Key Concepts

• Variant Option: An individual choice within a variant group (e.g., "Small" is an option within the "Sizes" group).
• Price Adjustment: A value added to or subtracted from the base price of an item when a specific variant option is selected.
