Can you show variation name if only a single variation for one item?

On square online, is there a way to show the variation name even if there is just one variation for an item. Currently, it doesn’t show the variation name if there is just 1 variation for an item.

HI, can you please share a screenshot of your Variation setting?

ex. shown, 3 pairs of shorts, one of each size

For whatever reason, it says I do not have permission to upload images.

The example is selling a plant that has 1 variation, 2.5" nursery pot. The variation just says 2.5" which is what I want it to say.

When I load the website and go to the product, it doesn't say 2.5" anywhere.

Maybe a workaround would be putting 2 variations of each product (2.5" and 4") even if 1 is not in stock. Thoughts?

This is for a plant, and currently there is only one variaton, 2.5".

HI, are you adding the Variation under Options and Pricing?

Which will give you the Add Option popup to select how you want it to display.

No, I'm adding it under variations. I think this is what I've been missing. I will test it out and let you know if I have any further issues. Thank you!

It totally works. I don't know how I missed that when setting everything up. Is there a way to add option sets to item via a bulk update?

HI, yes, you can create Option Sets. You can create a set before you create the listings.

Online Dashboard, Items, Options

ex. some option sets used

What about after you create listings that have synced over from Square POS?

HI, no experience with POS. Best guess would be manually adding the Option Set to each.
