Inventory, categories, characteristics

Hi,
I am excited about evaluating your product, but ran into a snag.

I have products that vary in size and color.

How do I specify the correct category and characteristics so I can track inventory?

For instance, I have a harness (for dogs) that comes in small, medium and large and in colors of red, blue and black.

I created:

Category "Training Products"
Product "Harness"
Characteristics of "Color" and "Size"

I put the corresponding details; red, blue and black in "Color" and small, medium, large in "Size"

But, I can't seem to find a way to change inventory per characteristic, just product.

Please advise.

Thanks.

In your product, you have a characteristics zone. There, to add your characteristics and save the product information.
When you do that, the system will create one variant of the product per combination of characteristics.
Then, you can use the "manage variants" button of that zone to edit each variant of your product and set specific options to it like the quantity so that stocks are handled for each variant of your product.
