What it does ------------ [](#what-it-does) - Imports a CSV to create or update a Craft Commerce product and its variants. - Bulk-imports many products at once from a zip of CSVs, each file becoming its own product. - Exports a product to CSV from the product edit page, or many products at once from the Variants element index. - Adds a **Variant Attributes** field that stores option name and value pairs (Color, Size, Material) on each variant for filtering on the storefront. - Logs each import and export, with configurable retention, in a dashboard activity feed. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - Craft CMS `^5.0` - Craft Commerce `^5.0` - PHP `^8.2` Install ------- [](#install) ``` composer require fostercommerce/variant-manager ./craft plugin/install variant-manager ``` See [`docs/installation.md`](./docs/installation.md) for the full installation and configuration guide. Importing --------- [](#importing) Upload a CSV (or a zip of CSVs) from **Variant Manager -> Dashboard**. The CSV's filename determines the product: a new filename creates a new product, an existing product title updates that product. Each row becomes one variant. Columns map to product fields, variant fields, per-site Commerce fields, inventory levels, and variant attributes. See [`docs/user-guide/importing.md`](./docs/user-guide/importing.md) and [`docs/user-guide/csv-format.md`](./docs/user-guide/csv-format.md). Exporting --------- [](#exporting) Two ways to export: from a single product's edit page (sidebar **Export Product** button), or from the **Variants** element index using the **Export Variant Data** action on a multi-select. A single product downloads as one CSV; multiple products download as a zip. Exported CSVs are shaped so they can be reimported without edits to the column headers. See [`docs/user-guide/exporting.md`](./docs/user-guide/exporting.md). Variant Attributes field ------------------------ [](#variant-attributes-field) The plugin ships a **Variant Attributes** field type that you add to each product type's variant field layout. The field stores the option-name and option-value pairs from your CSV (Color: Red, Size: Small) as JSON on the variant, and exposes them to Twig for variant selectors and faceted filtering. See [`docs/reference/field-type.md`](./docs/reference/field-type.md) for storage and Twig usage. Permissions ----------- [](#permissions) In addition to `accessPlugin-variant-manager`: - `variant-manager:import`, upload CSVs and create or update products and variants. - `variant-manager:export`, export products from the product edit page or the variants index. - `variant-manager:manage`, clear the activity log and manage plugin data. See [`docs/reference/permissions.md`](./docs/reference/permissions.md).
