Variant Manager

About the Extension

With our app "Main article variants" you have the possibility to display main articles as pseudo variants / visual variants in your online shop.
In the backend, the articles do not have to be created as variants of an article but can continue to exist as main articles. You assign the different main articles to each other via the additional field "Group identification". You can choose the connecting element for the assignment yourself, e.g. this can be a group name or a combination of numbers. The main articles assigned to each other are then displayed in the shop like normal variants. You can define the sorting of the main articles in the configuration of the extension.  You can choose between name A-Z (ascending), name Z-A (descending), sorting in "natural order" (ascending and descending), product number (ascending) and product number (descending). 

If your customer switches back and forth between the pseudo variants of a group, the item data in the item details change to the data of the respective main item. Accordingly, the pseudo variants behave in the same way as normal variants.

With the app you have the possibility to present all main articles of a group as pseudo variants to your customers at a glance in the article details without much effort.

The maintenance of the main article variant works via additional fields.

The presentation and functionality of the app for the storefront can be seen at lernstift.shop. In the category "tiptoi® Starter Sets", the app is used for the different starter sets.

Further information

General
Our extensions are based on standard functions of Shopware 6 (Community Edition) and the standard responsive theme. Individual or heavily customised themes cannot be taken into account during development. In such cases, adjustments may be necessary to ensure full compatibility.

Compatibility
Our extensions are generally compatible with each other. If functions are mutually exclusive or overlap, we explicitly point this out in the extension description.
We guarantee compatibility with the Community Edition and the standard theme. If you encounter any difficulties, we will of course be happy to assist you. We cannot guarantee compatibility with third-party extensions or Shopware Premium extensions.

Disclaimer
Our extensions are carefully developed and regularly updated. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee error-free operation at all times, as shop configurations, server environments or third-party extensions can have individual influences.
