Default variant

When a shopper’s request doesn’t pin down a specific size, color, or other variant option, Cartfilo needs a sensible default to add to cart. Settings → Default variant is where you set it, per product.

How it works

Search for a product, select it, and you’ll see its full list of variants. Pick the one that should be added when a shopper’s message is ambiguous — for example, defaulting to the most common size if they just ask for “the blue hoodie” without a size. The change applies immediately; there’s no separate publish step.

When this matters most

Products with many variant combinations benefit the most from a deliberate default — without one, an ambiguous request falls back to whatever variant the system would otherwise pick first, which may not be the one you’d choose.
