How Do I Add Variants, Like Size, to a Premium?

Looking to offer a premium in multiple sizes or options without creating a duplicate item for each one? Follow the steps below to add a variant category to a premium.

Step 1: Open the Premium Details Page

Navigate to the Premiums List page and select the premium you'd like to update, or create a new one. 

Step 2: Add a Variant Category

On the Premium Details page, select the option to add a variant category (for example, "Size"). Note: only one variant category is supported per premium at this time.

Step 3: Add Your Variant Options

Add each option within the category (for example, Small, Medium, Large). For each option, enter its own SKU and set its availability status — Available, Sold Out, or Backordered. Once a variant is added, SKU is tracked at the option level instead of the premium level, so you can match each donor's specific selection to your inventory records.

Step 4: Save Your Changes

Click Save in the variant modal to save your options to the premium. This doesn't save the premium itself — you'll still need to click Save at the bottom of the Premium Details page for your changes to take effect.

What happens after that page-level save depends on whether this premium is linked to any forms:

• If the premium isn't linked to any forms, saving just updates the premium itself — there's nothing to publish yet.

• If the premium is linked to a draft form, the new variant options save to the draft — we don't publish the form for you.

• If the premium is linked to a published form, you'll see a Save and republish? confirmation. Confirming republishes the form so donors see the updated options right away.

Note: If you mark every variant option as Sold Out, saving will remove the premium from any forms it's linked to and trigger a republish of any published ones. The premium can't be added to a new form again until at least one option is marked Available or Backordered.

Once a form is published with this premium, donors who select it will see a required dropdown listing each variant option. Available options are selectable as normal, Backordered options are selectable with a note that fulfillment may be delayed, and Sold Out options are shown but can't be selected.
