Reusable named sets of variation values, such as Size (Small/Medium/Large), used to build out a Variable product's individual variations.

The table lists each template's Name, its comma-separated Values, and an Action column. Edit is always available; Delete only appears when the template has zero product variations already built from it, protecting variable products from losing their variation definitions out from under them.

Creating a template takes a Name (for example "Color") and a list of Values (for example Red, Blue, Green) entered one per row. Editing a template's name or a value's wording propagates the change to every existing product variation already using it, so renaming stays consistent across the catalog rather than only affecting new products.

A template is applied when creating or editing a Variable product: choosing it generates one variation line per value (or per combination, when more than one template dimension is used), each with its own SKU and prices.

Step-by-step Workflow

  1. Review existing templatesCheck the Name and Values columns for variation sets already defined, such as Size or Color.
  2. Create a templateName the template and list its values, one per row, for example Small, Medium, Large.
  3. Apply it to a Variable productOn the product create/edit form, set Product Type to Variable and choose this template to generate one variation line per value.
  4. Rename with careEditing a template's name or values updates every product variation already using it, so renaming is safe to do consistently.
  5. Remove unused templatesDelete is only available once no product variation still references the template.
