If you're using Style/Colour/Size functionality for product codes in your ERP, you might integrate your variant data (rather than maintain it online).

However, in the CMS you can still associate tags with your variants, allowing you to take advantage of image switching on your website.

  1. in the CMS, navigate to Settings → Feature Management.

  2. Configure the Product Variants feature. 

  3. Review settings as required:

    1. Product Variant Mode = Integrated

    3. Variant X Code - the code from your ERP table for that part of the stockcode ('SZ' for example)
    4. Variant X Description - the description from your ERP table for that part of the stockcode ('Size' for example)
