linked variations

Create linked product variants with fixed final prices, stock, images, SKUs, sale prices and flexible “Any Variation” rules. Perfect for size, colour, style and option combinations without relying on OpenCart’s plus/minus option pricing.

Linked Variants makes it easy to manage real product variation combinations in OpenCart 3.
Instead of setting awkward plus/minus option prices, you can create clean linked variants with their own final price, sale price, stock quantity, SKU, model, image and status. Build options such as Size, Colour, Fit, Material or Style, then generate every possible combination or create flexible “Any Variation” rules to reduce admin work.

For example, you can set:
Small | Black = £19.99
Large | White = £24.99
Any Size | Blue = £21.99

The extension automatically creates and syncs the required OpenCart product options, while giving you a dedicated Linked Variants tab inside the product editor.
