Is there a way to give product variants different prices? Or a price supplement for specific variant values?
For instance a UBS stick could have a 'Capacity' property, but obviously different capacities have different prices. Can I make those the same product with different variant values or do they have to be different products?
Indeed there is. You can create a product family, with all the common information shared by all the variants (like USB standard, weight etc.), and have a variant for each variation in eg. Capacity.
I would add a datatype called "Capacity" of type "Enum" with the following:
4GB,8GB,16GB,32GB, 64GB, 128GB
(this can be edited by the editor).
Now you create the product family, and have a variant definitionfield ("Capacity").
Then you can add the capacity option for each variant you have, and give them prices to match.
Little hard to explain. Let me know if you want me to create a step by step guide on setting it up.
Well, the thing I'm not getting is setting the price. When creating a product definition that allows for variants, you get the 'Variants' tab in the product details editor, but the pricing tab still appears to just contain a single price per price group.
Ah wait, as I'm looking around to create a screenshot to illustrate, I notice a tiny icon that allows me to add a price per variant :)

That's what I was looking for, thanks.
Always happy to help :)
