Confused about parent-child relationship and variations
Hello everyone,
I am creating my very first listing. After days of struggle, I could finally create my listings. I have 1 product with 2 sizes and 4 colors at each size. While creating the listing, I didn't get to add size variations but only color variations. So, I ended up creating 2 parent listings because I have 2 sizes. Under each size, I have 4 variations. I can see the variations on the Manage Inventory page but when I click on each variation's title, I can only see that specific color of the product without any option to change colors on that page that is now visible to everyone but in a "Currently unavailable." stage because I still didn't add any stock. I cannot really understand if size options will appear on the page later or if I am doing something wrong already. Also, why do you think that I couldn't combine both variations, which are size and color, into one parent product? Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you for your help in advance!

Believe me, the most efficient way to create a variation is uploading a template through "Catalog/Add Products via Upload". You just need to fill in some required and minimum information to finish the variation creation. Normally, size+color can be used as a variationtheme. You can see it in the downloaded template file.

Hi @Seller_O7zrNlG4Q1Oe1:
Tiff here from Amazon. Do you still need some information on creating variations for your product? It sounded like you might still be searching for some assistance.
I wanted to share some of the Seller Central and Seller University pages that I think would be most helpful for your current question and to continue building variation knowledge.
- Create product variations in bulk - Find out how to create product variation in bulk using ‘Add Products via Upload’ in Seller Central.
- Determine variations for your products - when to use variations and tips for using variations
- Variation relationship FAQ
- How variations appear on product detail pages
- Additional information on variations are suggested in the left navigation on any of the Seller Central help articles above
If these do not address the specific scenario you're experiencing, try opening a Seller Support case next so they can provide step-by-step instructions.
Let me know how else I might be able to assist you.
