What are variations, and what types of variations can I add?
When you are running a sale Campaign, you may want to offer your donors the option to choose between different variations of a particular item. What do we mean by variations? Think of various sizes, colors, styles, and more!
Let’s say you are selling t-shirts. Those t-shirts may come in blue, red, pink, white, and black. In this example, the color would be the variation name, and blue, red, pink, white, and black would be the variation option. Then, each color shirt might have different sizes – XS to XXL. The size would be the variation name, and XS to XXL would be the variation option. Each t-shirt may have two different styles – a V-neck for women and a scoop neck for men! The style would be the variation name, and V-neck and scoop neck would be the variation option.
