How do I manage the colour list?

Your colours live in one list at Admin › Online store › Products › Colours. Give each colour a Color Name and a Color Code, then press Save. Variable products pick their colours from this list, and the shop's product list lets shoppers filter by colour.

Where to find it

Admin › Online store › Products › Colours. The store owner sees it, and so does staff with the Products & stock feature ticked in Users & logins.

Step by step

Go to Admin › Online store › Products › Colours.
Type the name in Color Name (for example "Maroon"). This is the word shoppers see.
Type the code in Color Code (for example #800000). Both boxes must be filled.
Press Save. Add the next colour the same way.
To change a colour, press the edit icon next to it, change it and save.
Open a product, set Product Type to Variable, and choose a colour (and size) on each row, with its own price and stock.

How it works on your shop

On a variable product's page, shoppers choose from the size and colour rows you made. They see the colour's name.
The shop's product list (/products-list) has a Color filter with every colour in your list.
A colour named exactly Default is not shown on the product page. Use it on rows where only the size changes.

Good to know

Use names customers use. "Maroon", "Olive", "Off-white" are easier than "Colour 7". If your shoppers think in Bangla, a name like "Maroon (মেরুন)" helps.
Finding a colour code: a colour code is a # followed by six letters or numbers. Search "colour picker" on Google, pick the shade, and copy the code that starts with #.
Rename instead of delete. A product row that uses a deleted colour can stop its product page from opening. Change those products first.
One spelling. "Grey" and "Gray" become two colours in the filter. Keep one.
The colour list is your shop's own. Other stores never see it.

Common problems

"The code field is required." Fill in Color Code too, even a simple one like #000000.
A new colour is not on the product. The list does not change products by itself. Open the product and add a row with that colour.
