Step 2：Variants

Attention:

1. Jumia does not allow color and shape as variants; if created as such, the product will be rejected by the system and will not be listed (QC rejected). Attributes that are allowed as variants include size, power, storage, capacity, etc., for products that are consistent in appearance.
2. If there are no variants, fill in the box with "…" instead of using color-related terms such as "white surface with a black base," as this increases the risk of the system considering color as a variant.

Example:

• Clothing comes in different colors, and each color needs to be created as a separate product.
• The iPhone 12 and iPhone 15 cannot be included as variations within the same product because they have different appearances.

Example:

• The same model of a smartphone can have different storage capacities, and the variations (Variations) can be specified as 216GB or 516GB. However, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 15 cannot be included as variations within the same product due to their different appearances.

You can add or remove variations by clicking on the arrow as indicated.
