Applies to: Kickflip inventory and inventory sync, all e-commerce platforms.
Kickflip tracks stock through variants. Before you set stock or link anything to your e-commerce platform, you create variants from your product's questions.
What is a variant?
A variant is one answer to a question, or a combination of answers from several questions.
Type | Questions used | Variant |
Single answer | Select size | Large |
Combination | Select size, Shirt color | Large / Red |
Create variants
You don't create variants one by one. You pick the questions and Kickflip generates every combination.
Go to My Products and open your product.
Publish your product.
In the top bar of the builder, click Variants.
Click Create variants.
Select one or more questions, then click Create.
Your variants appear in a list.
Pick the right questions
Select the questions that match how you stock the item. If you stock T-shirts by size and color, select both questions.
Each question you add multiplies the number of variants. 4 sizes and 5 colors give 20 variants.
Track several parts of one product
You can track more than one item in the same product. This helps when you stock parts separately.
Example: you sell custom gaming controllers. You stock the case, the joysticks and the buttons separately. Create variants from the case question, then from the joystick question, then from the button question. Kickflip tracks each part on its own.
