Variable Package

A Variable Package is a product that allows a customizable selection of poses and sheets/units. Allows the customer to create a custom mix-and-match package of items or differently-sized prints until the sheet/unit limit has been met. Also called a BYO (Build Your Own) package. You can also add a unique set of add-ons to each variable package as well as allow the purchase of additional units and poses.

  2. Set the type to Variable.
  3. In the Product Name field, enter the name of your product (e.g. “Package 4 - Build Your Own!”).
