Create your first configurator choice

Your first choice

Product variations or options are referred to as “Choices” in the WCB product configurator plugin.

Let’s head over to WCB > Choices and create a new choice

Start by adding an admin title so you can find the choice back later easily. You can name it anything you want. This will not be shown in the configuration form.

Next, add a label. This is the title of the option that will be displayed in the form. Enter something like “Color” or “Material”

With the label in place, we must first define the type of the attribute. Depending on the type you will find yourselves the fields you need to complete your options.

Choice display

You can control the display of the choice with 2 fields: type and template.

Choice types

Type is the type of options you would like to add. You can choose from a few types:

1. Label
2. Image
3. Font
4. Color
5. URL
6. Product (pro / inventory add-on)

The type will control the data type of the option. You can use labels for text values, images if you would like to display a thumbnail and color if you would like to add color swatches

Choice templates

Second, you can choose template to control the output of the options. We have the following templates:

1. List
2. Cards
3. Swatches
4. Button group

Adding options

Now it’s time to add in all our options. Add all the options you want for this choice and save the choice.

Presentation settings

Finally you can update the presentation settings of the choice by heading over to the “Details” tab.

Here you can control settings like short description, long description, required choice and amount of choices displayed in a row.
