Multi-variability - how to combine offers and edit options?

You will combine the offers in the Multivariate tab:

1. Click [add].

   

2. Enter the phrase based on which you want to search for offers to combine.

   

3. Select the offers you want to combine - we will move them to the right column.

4. Choose with which parameters you want to group offers and click [select parameters]. Offers can be combined using up to two parameters.

5. Name the created multi-variant offer and click [save].

When you combine offers, remember:

• If one of the parameters after which you want to combine offers is color / pattern - we will automatically group the offers with the same thumbnails.
• We group offers in color variants after the color / pattern parameter after choosing the second parameter.
• In Multivariance you will use only selected parameters.
• For selected parameters, you will create multi-variant offers using only one value of these parameters. For example : Brand parameter in the Footwear category. If you choose brand A when creating a multi-variant offer with shoes, you will not add brand B.

A list of existing multi-variant offers is available in the Multivariant tab. From this list you can:

• Search for combined offers using the multi-variant offer name or offer number.
• Edit multi-variant offers.
• Disconnect linked offers.

Multi-variant offers can be freely edited using the [edit] button.

The edition allows you to add items and change parameters, after which we group multi-guarantee offers.

We have included collapse of multi-variant offers in the following categories:

• Women's jewelry
• Men's Jewelry
• Children's jewelry
• Wedding jewelry
• Piercing
• Lingerie
• Men's underwear
• Footwear
• Female clothing
• Men's clothing
• Haberdashery and accessories
• Pregnancy and motherhood
• Marriage and wedding reception
• Disguises, costumes, masks

This means that the list of offers will only display the offer from a given connection that is best suited to:

• Buyer's queries in the search engine - according to the phrase entered by him, selected filters and sorting
• the category the Buyer is browsing - for example Footwear.

How it's working

If combined offers are:

• by parameters - we will display them on the list of offers as one item
• only after the main photos - we will not make changes
• both after the parameters and the main pictures - we will list separately the offers of different main pictures on the list. Example:

Your offers include multi-variant offers with shoes combined by sizes and main photos , showing different colors . The buyer who is looking for ballerina shoes in size 36 will see a list of these offers in different color variants, with the size best suited to the query - i.e. 36. The remaining sizes will be displayed in the variants of the given offer.

Currently we do not collapse listings:

• completed offers
• Seller's offers - in a situation where the Buyer displays a list of your offers without a searched phrase or without a defined category, for example the list of offers from the Official Allegro store
• in search results - when the Buyer searches for a given phrase in the descriptions of the offers.

• Newly listed offers will appear in the tool for combining variants with a few minutes delay - up to 60 minutes.
• You will assign the selected offer to the multi-variant offer once.
• You will not combine offers with equal parameter values, for example, two offers from a computer with a 1000 GB disk capacity.
• Offers in various categories cannot be combined.
• You won't use Multivariant in terms of advertising .
• A multi-variant offer may consist of a maximum of 500 offers.
• You cannot combine offers by parameters with the same values. For example: you will not combine offers with a bicycle model with equal wheel sizes.
• You can use the multivariate options in the REST API - learn more .
