In a previous guides, we covered how to create and manage product variations in your X-Cart store. Now, let’s look at how to display them to your customers.

You have two options: group variations as a single product with selectable options, or list each variation separately.

💡 Base your choice on the product type!

For practical items like bolts with different sizes, grouping them under one listing keeps your product list neat. But for visually striking products like rims, displaying each variation separately helps showcase their unique features and capture customer attention.


Changing Product Variation Display Mode

To change how Variation Appear in the Product List:

  1. Go to Cart & CheckoutMiscellaneous.

  2. Click the Product variations display mode in product list selector, under Product Display section.

  3. Select one of the following options:

  4. Click Submit.

Customer Experience

Depending on the selected display mode, customers will see variations either grouped into a single product card or shown as separate items, each with its own name and price.

Let’s see how each option looks in your store and the differences between them.


Show One Variation Product (Default)

By default, customers see a single product – the first available variation based on CloudSearch filters.

The price displayed will either be a range (e.g., $50–$100) covering all matching variations or a single price if only one variation matches or all of them have the same item cost.

Instead of the usual Add to cart button, customers can click View Options to open the product page for the first variation and select from other available variations.


Show All Variation Products

In this mode, each product variation appears separately as its own item. The price for each variation is displayed on the product card, along with specifications based on the selected attributes (e.g., size 18-19 inches or color: Silver or Matte Black).

Each variation has its own Add to Cart button, allowing customers to add the exact variation to their cart.

Variations (except the first) will not have Add to Wishlist or Compare buttons.
