Master the Art of Amazon Variations: Turn Two Separate Products into One ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ”—

So, you’ve got two different products on Amazon, same item, but different colors, and you want to merge them under the same product page, right? You’re in the perfect place! Variations on Amazon are a critical aspect of managing your product listings, especially if your product comes in different colors, sizes, or styles. Let’s unravel the mystery of creating Amazon variations.

Why Bother with Variations?

First things first, why should you even consider creating variations? Well, variations can improve the shopping experience for customers by consolidating similar items in one place. They can compare colors, sizes, or other attributes without jumping between different product pages. And of course, it can help aggregate your product reviews which is a significant influencer for purchase decisions.

Before We Begin – Prerequisites

Before diving into the steps of creating a variation, it’s essential to note that Amazon only allows variations for specific product categories. These categories include Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry, and a few others. To add a variation to your product, make sure it belongs to a category that supports variations.

Step-by-step Guide on Creating Variations

Ready to start? Great, let’s go!

1. Identify the Parent Product

The ‘parent’ is the product you want to add variations to. In your case, you wish to choose the product that has been listed longer and has more reviews.

2. Get Access to the Variation Wizard

You can find this on Seller Central under the ‘Inventory’ tab. Select ‘Manage Inventory,’ then ‘Add a Product.’ Under ‘Create a new product listing,’ choose the category that fits your product. Now, if variations are allowed in this category, the ‘Variations’ tab will appear.

3. Create the Parent Listing

In the ‘Variations’ tab, add the details of the parent product. Remember, the parent product won’t be for sale. It serves as an umbrella listing for your variants.

4. Add Variants

Once you’ve created the parent product, you can start adding variants. These will be your ‘child’ products. In your case, the two color versions of your product.

5. Match the Child Listing

Each variant needs its unique SKU, pricing, and inventory details. However, make sure that the ‘Product ID’ (like UPC or EAN) matches with the existing child listing.

6. Upload Your Details

After all the details are filled in, save and upload the details.

7. Review and Edit

Amazon will take some time to process the information. Once processed, you can review the new variation listing and edit as needed.

It’s crucial to note that when you are merging existing listings, you need to consider the impacts on your sales rank, reviews, and customer Q&A sections. Ensure that you won’t lose essential elements that contribute to your product’s visibility and desirability.
