All things Shopify and commerce
I'm looking for a solution to add global variants which can be used across multiple products without having to enter the variations and prices for each product.
What I mean is an example if I was building chairs: I might want a Wood Type - with different costs for Oak +£50, Pine £+20, Walnut +£100 etc.. I might want a fabric type - Tartan +£10, Suede £+40, Leather £+50
I want to use these variant and there associated costs across many products.
i.e
Product one is "Tall Chair" £40 + Pine (£20) + Tartan (£10) = £70
Product two is "Small Chair" £30 + Walnut £100 + Leather £50 = £180
What I want is a single location to enter the variable and be able to edit the cost without editing the entire product list which could be many items all using the same variables.
Is it possible? or is the only way (I've worked out so far) is to use an Excel sheet with calculations and export it as csv and update when I change prices, add or remove variations.
thanks 🙂

This is an accepted solution.
The answer to this if anybody is looking for similar is a Free plugin/app called BSS Variant Options which allows you to setup your options as a global entity and assign them to the items you want them on instead (or combined) with the basic function shopify offers.
Hey @StuL ,
Yes, I can help you with that! To implement global variants with associated costs that can be used across multiple products, I would need access to your store. This would allow me to set up the global variant system efficiently.
Feel free to reach out to me via email, and we can discuss the details further. I'll walk you through the setup and ensure you can manage and update the variants and prices in one central location, without having to manually edit each product.
