Overview
In Droopify, a Draft with variants represents a group of products that share the same main page but give the customer the option to choose between different options, such as color, size, or model. This guide explains how to properly edit a group of Drafts with variants, highlighting the main differences compared to Drafts without variants and providing clear steps for managing titles, descriptions, prices, and availability.
Differences Compared to Editing a Single Draft
Editing a Draft with variants is similar to editing a Single Draft, but it has some key differences:
- The Main Draft serves as the "cover" of the future product page on eBay. In this section, only information not related to price can be edited.
- The Product Variants represent the individual products that make up the listing. Each variant can also be published separately, if necessary.
How to Edit a Draft Group
To access the editing of a draft, click on the yellow pencil icon next to the desired draft. A pop-up will open, allowing you to update the details of the future listing.
"Variant Group" Section
This section contains the main fields of the Main Draft ("cover"), giving you the ability to update its most important aspects.
| Field | Editable | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Title | ✅ | The listing title on eBay (max 80 characters). |
| eBay Account | ✅ | eBay account on which to publish. If only one account is present, it is automatically selected. |
| Description | ✅ | Product description, displayed on eBay with an HTML template. |
| Category | ✅ | eBay category. If left blank, it is automatically calculated. |
| Region | ❌ | Draft creation region. Not editable after creation. |
| Brand | ✅ | Product brand. |
| Product Code | ❌ | Unique code identifying the product (SKU). |
| Warehouse Location | ❌ | Warehouse city. Not editable. |
| Shipping Time | ❌ | Shipping times calculated based on the supplier. |
"Template" Section
In this section, you can select the graphic template to apply to the listing. If not modified, the default one will automatically be used.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Template | Select a created or imported template. |
"Specifications" Section
This allows you to view and edit the product specifications imported from the supplier. It is recommended not to alter the original values, as they represent the official information.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Specifications | View and edit the specifications imported from the supplier. |
Differences with a Single Draft
In the edit popup of a Draft Group, the Images section is missing:
- The images section is not present because the listing published on eBay will use part of the images of each individual variant. This way, when a customer selects a variant on eBay, they will directly see the corresponding image.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you will be able to effectively edit and manage your Drafts with variants on Droopify, ensuring that each product is presented clearly, consistently, and comprehensively to your customers.
