Variants

Introduction

Wall art is often sold with different framing and size options. On Shopify these are usually offered as product variants. Frame Up can understand these variants and show customers a matching artwork preview.

Variant rules

There are many different ways to set up variants, so we need to teach Frame Up how to understand yours. We do this using variant rules.

Search for a product in the preview section. Choose a product that has variants.

Below the preview area you’ll see all the product’s variants listed:

If a variant option is yellow, no matching rule has been found.

Automatically create a style rule

Let’s set up a variant rule for the “Oak” option. To do this, click “Create a variant rule”.

This automatically creates a rule, which you can see on the right side of the page.

The “Oak” variant option is now green. On the right side of the page we can now select the appropriate style settings. In our case we want to set “Frame Material” to “Natural Grain” because it most closely matches the look of the frames we sell.

Repeat this for your other style variants.

Automatically create a size rule

Frame Up can automatically detect variants that look like sizes, for example 12” x 16”. To do this, click “Create a variant rule”.

This creates a single rule that detects all your size options.

Creating rules manually

You can also create rules manually using the “New variant rule” button at the bottom of the variant rules section. We recommend the automatic options above, as they guarantee the rule matches the variant.
