Then add the variants to this product, this way the variants will have the main product price. ![;)](/media/kunena/emoticons/11.png ";)") If you need different price per variants, the best way to edit many prices quickly is to export by csv, edit the csv and import it back.

I still have to edit 27 variants in the csv. I'm gonna be forced to make a single product for each variant. Which will be much easier to manage. Is there a way to force the user to be able to only select one variant? Thus not needing all the extra steps. I shouldn't have to tell it 27 prices for 9 selections. I should only have to 9 times (price for each selection). This is kind of ridiculous, I have to throw a price for every possible combination and this is not auto calculated. Thanks!

If you create 27 products instead of one product with 27 variants, you still have to enter the price of each element. If you have two characteristics, one with 3 values and one with 9 values (if I understood correctly), if only one characteristic changes the price of the product and not the other, then simply add the one which changes the price first and set the price for each variant of the product. Then, add the second characteristic and the system will regenerate all the variants taking the prices of the variants you already configured. Is that what you mean by "auto calculated" ?

If you really want to manage less variants, you can create 3 instances of the same product, for example : - 15 pack of *product_name* - 25 pack of *product_name* - 50 pack of *product_name* And then add your "color" characteristic, you'll finally just have to edit the price of the "zinc" variant.

You should have 2 characteristics: color and pack The color characteristic should have three values : white, ivory and zinc The pack characteristic should have three values: 15 25 and 50 Then, when you add these two characteristics to your product, the system will generate 9 variants and you can set the price of each combination by editing each variant via the "manage variants" button.
