Product Variant

If you have different variants of one product (different colors or sizes of a bottle), you need to add them in one product card instead of creating different ones.

How to add color tones to the product variants?

For example, you are selling BB cream and you have 3 different color variants. 

  • #13 Milk Beige
  • #21 Light Beige
  • #23 Natural Beige 

Create the product card for the BB cream and then add variants. Please note that you are only allowed to add colors from our List of Accepted colors on Joom. 

What if you cannot find your color tone on this list?

  • Add the Color tone in the "Name" of every product variant and write "as the picture" instead of color. Then show the color difference in the pictures of each variant.

  • Indicate the color tone in the "Size" field. Then show the color difference in the pictures of each variant.
