Slices are configurable products that have been split, or sliced, based on option values. With this feature, one product can have its slices displayed separately without creating individual product listings. This allows a site to appear more robust and makes it easier for shoppers to find what they may be looking for without adversely affecting SEO or user experience. For instance, a sweater can come in several color options. Each color could be a slice, so the red variation and the blue variation can be displayed separately in search results when “sweater” is searched for. They would also be displayed separately when viewing the “Apparel” category that the sweater is assigned to. Clicking the red slice would take the shopper to the slices’ shared product details page with the red color preselected, but they can always select a new option on the page and order the blue version instead.

This should be a minimum of three characters up to a maximum of 30. kibo can also auto-generate product codes, based off the base product code, which in our example was 123456, Because we selected the “Explicit” pricing mode, we can set the pricing for each product variant independently, with it’s own “List Price” and “Sale Price”. Any value greater than “0” on the “Sale Price” will put the Variant on sale. Any variant with empty pricing will default to the pricing for the base product. Because we selected the “Explicit” pricing mode, we can set the pricing for each product variant independently, with it’s own “List Price” and “Sale Price”.

5, while the second would reduce base pricing by

2. As before, any variant with empty pricing will default to the pricing for the base product.

Dynamic Imaging associates an image with an option value of a product, allowing it to appear in specific search results and be displayed on the product page. Multiple images can be grouped together and associated with the same option value as part of an image group, allowing you to customize which images the customer sees as they click through the different variants of a product. For example, products with multiple color variations can have a particular set of images associated with each option. When a customer selects an option, such as “black,” then the appropriate black variant image will be displayed. While the customer is viewing the product’s page, selecting between “black” and “blue” options will update the displayed images to match the chosen variant.
