If you sell clothing, shoes or anything that comes in colors and sizes, read this first: Fawran currently has no variant matrix. One product = one offer = one stock line. The supported approach is one product per sellable combination.
What the colors field really does
In Step 2 of the product wizard there is a Product Colors selector — a fixed set of swatches. Picking colors there is descriptive only: the names appear as text on the product page. It does not create color options, separate prices or separate stock. Sizes aren’t collected in the wizard at all.
Creating one “T-Shirt” product, ticking Blue + Red + Black in the colors field, and expecting buyers to pick a color at checkout. They can’t — there is no color/size switcher on the buyer side. The buyer would just order “T-Shirt” and you wouldn’t know which color they want.
The supported approach: one product per combination
Create a separate product for each combination you actually sell. For a shirt in 3 colors × 4 sizes, that’s up to 12 products — but only create the combinations you really stock:
Each product can have a different price — useful when XXL costs more — and photos of the actual color, which converts far better than one generic photo.
Staying organized: naming and your own codes
- Name pattern: “Product — Color / Size”, e.g. “Classic Shirt — Blue / L”, «قميص كلاسيكي — أزرق / L». Keep the order consistent across all combinations.
- SKU: Fawran generates the SKU automatically when you save — you can’t type your own. Keep your internal code (e.g.
SH-CLS-BLU-L) in your own records, mapped to the Fawran SKU shown on the product, and add it to the product keywords so you can search by it. - Keywords: add the color and size words in both languages (blue, أزرق, large, L) so buyers searching “blue shirt L” find the right product.
- Images: first image = that exact color. Don’t reuse the blue photo on the red product.
How buyers see it — and how inventory works
Each combination is its own listing in search results, with its own price and its own availability. Inventory is per product: when “Blue / L” sells out, only that listing shows out of stock — “Blue / M” keeps selling. Track and restock each product separately in Inventory.
Worked example
Ahmad Home Goods sells a classic shirt in Blue and White, sizes M, L and XL — 6 combinations. Ahmad creates 6 products: “Classic Shirt — Blue / M”, “… Blue / L”, “… Blue / XL”, “… White / M”, “… White / L”, “… White / XL”. All share the same category and description; each has photos of its color, its size in the name, and internal codes SH-CLS-BLU-M through SH-CLS-WHT-XL kept in his spreadsheet and keywords. He links all 6 to each other via Related Products, then adds MARKET inventory: 10 units each. When Blue / L sells out, the other five keep selling.
If a variant matrix ships in a future release, this guide will be updated. Today, separate products per combination is the only supported method.
