Navigate to [https://admin.viavaca.com/Account/Dashboard](https://admin.viavaca.com/Account/Dashboard)

Click "Catalog"

Click "New Product"

Add the Manufacturer's Product Name

Select the products "Category."

Select the "Supplier."

Select the "Brand."

Add product description.

Click "browse" and all pictures that pertain to the product you are creating. If there are multiple colors, or different styles, please include all pictures at this stage.

Select the image you would like to be displayed as the cover for the catalog.

Enter the unit price (what the customer will be charged).

Enter a cost per item (what this product will cost us to provide).

Make tax rates active.

Enter the product weight.

Enter Weight Unit (lb).

Enter the Product Code.

Enter SKU code. This will be the same as the product code. It is the beginning of the SKU tree.

Make the product configurable. This step is very important, it allows you to not only assign options an values, but modify the SKU's by price and availability.

Select the option(s) that apply to the product you are building. An example would be Color, Size, Fit, etc. Every option you select will open a new field to which you will assign values.

Click "color"

Click "size"

Select the values that belong with the product. At this stage, add all available options, regardless of the customer request. We will modify the available options by store at the store catalog level.

Click this text field.

Click "Organization Categor..."

Move to the next step once you have assigned all options and selected all available values.

Select price, and if there are differences in price based on the values selected choose price variation. If all sizes/versions of the product are the same price choose same price for all.

Assuming there is a price variation, select the option it will be based off of. If the price increases based on size, choose size. If the price increases based on color, select color and so on.

In this case, we are building a garment, and the price increases for all sizes larger than Medium. We have chosen Price Variation, now choose Size.

Make any price adjustments that are necessary by modifying the field under each size.

Next you must assign images.

Click "Same Image For All" if there is only one color. If there is more than one color select Image Variation and assign the loaded pictures (step 9) to the corresponding value.

Click "Select An Option..."

Click "Same Quantity For All" if there is no inventory requirements by size. Type 1000 into the field and proceed to the next step. Click Quantity Variation if there are specific inventory requirements. This will allow you to modify the inventory by size.

Once you have assigned pricing rules, images and inventory you will proceed to the next step.

Click "Generate sku."

Delete any combinations that do not exist. When you generate the SKU list the site creates every combination possible based on the options/values you have entered.

In this case, Small-Tall is not provided, so we will delete that option. This will remove the combination from the store front.

In the same sense, you may need to change pricing based on the options/values you have assigned. We can only choose one variable to increase price by, so in this case you may have to go increase the cost of garments manually. Example: A large shirt costs $100. A Large-Tall shirt costs $110. The issue is that this combination will not have received its price increase because we are adjusting price by size, not fit. This means you would need to manually add the $10 charge for price increase to bring the Large-Tall to $110.
