Too many variations available

    I created a product with two attributes, size and color. Each size does not have the same colors available. For example, Pint should only show White, Fire Red, Metallic Gold and Black as being available. However, when you select the size Pint on the website and then click on the drop down menu for color, every single color displays on the screen. I haven’t had this issue with other products that i created so what did I do wrong that would cause this issue?

    When you create variations you can enable / disable them via: https://cld.wthms.co/W6XGso – I would either disable the non required variations or remove them from the product all together.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply. I did the second option and I removed the non required variations from the product but yet they still appear as being able to be selected.

    Same issue as here:

    lorro,

    That worked perfectly! Thank you so much. I’ve got some products that probably have about 200-250 variations. Do you think that’ll significantly slow down the page load times or should I try to break it up to keep the variations to a manageable number?

    You may need to do some testing, and as per the other thread, consider what proportion of your target market might be on a slow connection.

    There are techniques to reduce the number of variations.

    – if an attribute has no affect on price or doesn’t need its own image or sku, choose “any” when making variations. So, say if you have 3 colours and 3 sizes, but each size is the same price, that would be just 3 variations.

    – look at add-on plugins. Ultimately that could be 1 simple product with add-ons (radio buttons) for colour and size. Or somewhere in between.

    Okay, thank you for your advice!
