A Craft CMS plugin that imports and exports Craft Commerce product variants from CSV files.
- Imports a CSV to create or update a Craft Commerce product and its variants.
- Bulk-imports many products at once from a zip of CSVs, each file becoming its own product.
- Exports a product to CSV from the product edit page, or many products at once from the Commerce products index.
- Adds a Variant Attributes field that stores option name and value pairs (Color, Size, Material) on each variant for filtering on the storefront.
- Lets you build a color picker or size swatch in Twig, from swatch images, spec sheets or notes you attach to any attribute value.
- Sets one field on many variants at once from the Variants index.
- Logs each import and export, with configurable retention, in a dashboard activity feed.

composer require fostercommerce/variant-manager
./craft plugin/install variant-managerSee docs/installation.md for the full installation and configuration guide, and docs/upgrade.md if you are coming from 2.x.
Upload a CSV (or a zip of CSVs) from Variant Manager -> Dashboard. The CSV's filename determines the product: a new filename creates a new product, an existing product title updates that product. Each row becomes one variant. Columns map to product fields, variant fields, per-site Commerce fields, inventory levels, and variant attributes.
See docs/user-guide/importing.md and docs/user-guide/csv-format.md.
Two ways to export: the sidebar Export Product button on a product's edit page, or the Export Variant Data action on a multi-select at Commerce -> Products. A single product downloads as one CSV; multiple products download as a zip. Exported CSVs are shaped so they can be reimported without edits to the column headers.
See docs/user-guide/exporting.md.
The plugin ships a Variant Attributes field type that you add to each product type's variant field layout. It stores the name and value pairs from your CSV (Color: Red, Size: Small) as JSON on the variant. Twig reads them for variant selectors and faceted filtering.
Every name and value your variants use also gets its own element. Attach a swatch image, a spec sheet or a note to it. Pick how a storefront renders it: dropdown, radio buttons, text buttons, image swatches, color swatches or lightswitch. Imports and exports are unchanged.
See docs/user-guide/variant-attributes.md and docs/reference/field-type.md.
