Setup single product with multiple variation...

Hi

I need help in setting up different varieties of same product.
So lets say, if I have a same T-shirt in 3 colors, how can I make user to select from colors?

You have 2 options:

1) Have several variants (one for each colour) for the same product. This lets you show a pic for each variant (colour).
admin>catalog>manage products>add/edit product>product variants(skus)
Check example in demo store and admin:
http://demo.nopcommerce.com/products/85-canon-digital-rebel-xsi-122-mp-digital-slr-camera.aspx
http://admin-demo.nopcommerce.com/administration/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=85

2) Use product attributes for colours
2.1)Define product attributes in admin>catalog>attributes>product attributes.
Example:http://admin-demo.nopcommerce.com/administration/productattributes.aspx
2.2) Create your product (just one variant) and then go to the product variant (SKU) and assign the attribute:
admin>catalog>manage products>add/edit product>product variants(skus)>product attribute tab
2.3) Add all the values (colours) you need
Check example in demo store and admin for 50's Rockabilly Polka Dot Top JR Plus Size (here the attributee is size)
http://demo.nopcommerce.com/products/54-50s-rockabilly-polka-dot-top-jr-plus-size.aspx
http://admin-demo.nopcommerce.com/administration/ProductVariantDetails.aspx?ProductVariantID=63

Great. Thanks for quick response.

Another qucik question that, is it possible to take measurements of any (clothing) item.
for example, if we have shirt, user wants to input some measurements of it....

Sure, you can add "Product variant attributes" to any product (in your case "Textbox").

So while placing the order, customer will have to input/enter the required values (or measurements).

To configure it:

1) Go to admin section > Catalog > Attributes > Product Attributes

ADD NEW

For example, Add this;

Name: Please Enter Size
Description: Size of the shirt

SAVE IT

2) Now, go to Admin section > Catalog > Products > Manage Products

3) Open the product details of your product (shirt)

4) Select tab "product variant (sku)"

5) click on the product "view"

6) Now choose 4th tab "Product Variant attribute "

7) Add attribute with this settings:

Select attribute: Please Enter Size (Choose this from drop down menu)
Text prompt:   
Required:   YES (CHECK MARK)
Control Type: TEXTBOX
Display order: 1

Save it by clicking on "Add Attribute"

that's it.

Now go to public store and try to add product in the cart, as a customer you will have to enter the value in the text box you just added.

You can add more fields (if you want) - just repeat the same process.

Wonderful...
Is there way to control the length of textbox?
