Hi, just wondering if I’m missing something when making listings! I’ll be mainly making personalised/custom items and want to add ‘options’ to my listings. I’ve just made my first listing and can’t for the life of me find any way to do it. After a quick search for other personalised gifts I can see that some have a ‘CHOOSE OPTIONS’ button, but I’ve no idea how!!! Please help 🙂 ---

Once you have listed your item you can add the variations. I haven’t done it myself, but I believe you just go to the item page and there is an option to ‘edit or add variations’ ---

Ahhhhh there it is, thank you 🙂 Seems odd not to have it on the actual edit page, but at least I know now. Many thanks. ---

I learnt this on Saturday. It was driving me potty trying to work out where to do the options 😬 ---

It seem odd to me too as you have to finish your listing before your can add options. I always think someone is going to buy the item before i can get the alternative prices on…haha that is just wishful thinking for a sale 😜 ---

I discovered you can do it before you actually list the item, I also had the wishful thinking/worry that someone would buy it before I added a variation! Once you’ve put all the info in for the item and preview the listing, you can click on the edit/add variation on that preview page before clicking to list it 🙂 ---
