Description
This screen enables you to manage all your characteristics.
Characteristics are useful when your products have several variants. For example, you sell a table model which has 5 different colors possible. You have a stock for each color or you might have different prices, different weight, images, etc. But you want the table to be listed only once when your customers browse your shop. That's what characteristics are for. Then, on the product page, your customers will be able to change the characteristics value of the product.
You can sort your characteristics by any field and search using the "filter" box.

- Edit : Select a characteristic and then click on this button in order to edit its information.

Description
This screen enables you to manage all the variants of one product. You can access it through the Manage variants button when editing a product.
Based on the characteristics of a product you will have one variant per characteristic combination. For example, if your product can be blue or red and old or new style, your product will have 4 variants: blue and old style, blue and new style, red and old style, red and new style.
Unlike most of the listings in HikaShop, this listing displays all the variants in one page so there is no filters or pagination.

- Code : The code of the variant is a unique identifier for each product. If you click on it, you will go to the edit screen of the variant. By default, when the variant is generated based on the characteristics of the product, the code uses the main product code plus the ids of the characteristics separated by an underscore. As long as you don't change it, the variant will be automatically deleted if the characteristic is removed from the main product.
- Size : This is actually an automatically generated column. You will have on this listing one column per characteristic of the main product so that you can easily see which variant has which value.

- Quantity : The quantity in stock for the variant. Unless the quantity is unlimited, people won't be able to buy over the stock and each time an order is made with this product, the stock will be adjusted. When an order is cancelled (there is an option in the configuration page to set the statuses involved), the stock will be restored.
- Published : If a variant is published it means that it can be seen by your customers in your shop. By default, all variants are unpublished.
