How to Create Products & Variants

Whalesync no longer offers Webflow E-Commerce, but existing syncs keep running. Create products from Airtable by mapping an Initial Variant - Price field.

TL;DR

  1. Make sure to map a linked record field between the Products table and the Variants table
  2. Make sure to map an "Initial Variant - Price" field in your Products table
  3. Make sure that "Initial Variant - Price" field has a value

Detailed Explanation

To create a new product, Webflow requires that you create the first variant at the same time. Most of the fields in the variant can be supplied later, but the price must be set immediately by providing a value to the "Initial Variant - Price" field.

See video below (starting at 4:47) for an overview of creating products with initial variants.

If you need to create variants for a product, you can create them in the Webflow E-Comm UI and they will sync back into your other connected app.
