Allow customers to view different variations of the product image (e.g. different color). You can also associate an image with the option attributes (e.g. color swatches), which is shown just below the product image. When customers click on it, the corresponding option is selected in the dropdown and the image changes accordingly. For example, in the image above when customers click on the red color swatch, the option "Mountain Red" is automatically selected in the "Color" drop-down, and the product image changes to show a red version of the jacket.

Automatically prevent customers from ordering out-of-stock product variations. When a selection is made from the first drop-down (e.g. "Mountain Red", continuing on the example above), the second drop-down (e.g. "Size") is instantly updated, without refreshing the page. If any of the available combinations (e.g. "Mountain Red/Small", "Mountain Red/Medium", etc.) is out of stock, Global Merchant Suite will either show an out of stock message, or hide the selection. This setting can be configured on a product by product basis.

Set a number of variables at the product variation level. For each product variation, you can specify a part number, a general image, a detail view image, a price differential (e.g. Add $5 for all XXL sizes), and the stock level. The Apparel Add-On equips Global Merchant Suite's Control Panel with a number of tools that allow you to create and efficiently manage all product variations.

Set quantity discounts for each product variation. You can set individual quantity discounts for each product variation, which allows you to place one or more product combinations "on sale" without altering the main product's price.
