Kasta focuses on clothing and footwear, where variants are key. One product can have dozens of size/color combinations, each with its own stock.
Variants as separate offers
The platform expands each combination into a separate offer with its own id, size, color and stock. A size that's gone hides automatically.
What matters
- Accurate stock per size.
- Shared photos and description across variants.
- Correct size charts.
The result
Buyers only see available sizes, and you get fewer returns.
Step-by-step plan
- Check whether your supplier sends sizes and colors as separate fields.
- Configure each size and color combination to have its own stock.
- Add shared photos and a description shown for all variants.
- Check size charts against Kasta's requirements.
- Enable products for export and confirm that missing sizes are hidden.
The most common mistake
A typical Kasta mistake is creating each size as a separate product with its own listing. Buyers then see a dozen near-identical items and get confused, while the seller duplicates photos and descriptions by hand. The right approach is one product with variants, where size and color are chosen on the listing. The range looks tidy, reviews collect in one place, and per-size stock updates automatically.
Why variants matter in fashion
In clothing, the top reason for returns is the wrong size, and the top reason for cancellations is a size that sold out. When stock is tracked per product rather than per size, the buyer sees 'in stock' even though their size is gone.
Tracking each variant removes this problem and makes the range transparent for the buyer.
FAQ
How many variants can a product have?
Practically unlimited — every size and color combination becomes a separate offer.
Do I need separate photos for each color?
Ideally yes, since buyers want to see the exact color they choose. The platform also lets you set shared photos for all variants.
