I can't find a variation tab on my basic store

[naturepolished]

There doesn't seem to be any way to add variations to my basic store. I have not set auction fees so this shouldn't affect it. Is this because I need to upgrade?

Are you talking about listing variations like color or size?

Not all categories allow you to show variables.   Try creating "brand new listing" (leave title and everything blank) and then click on ADD VARIABLE (if you don't see "add variable" that means your category does not allow it).

You don't need a store subscription to create a variation listing @naturepolished .

First thing: variations are not supported on the app. Make sure you're using the website. Variations are not supported for auction format listings; make sure you're using fixed price.

By default the variation setting is hidden on the listing form. Once you unhide the setting it will stick for future listings.

On the top right of the page click the settings menu (3 vertical dots) and toggle the variations slider if it's not already on.

Make sure you're working off a new listing, not a relist or sell similar from a listing without variations.

Beyond that it comes down to category; not every category supports variations.

If the category supports variations you'll find them in a non-intuitive, awkward placement on the listing form - below item specifics instead of above them. Make sure you set up variations before you fill out any of the IS.

Thanks for the info. I just found it thanks to your message.

I didn't realise that you had to start to create the actual listing first before the three dots appear top right with the variation tab hidden in that area. It should be okay now.

Much appreciated.
