# How to Show Single Variations Based on Product Category

**Coming soon:** Iconic Show Single Variations is becoming part of Kadence Shop Kit. You may see both names used while we update the product, documentation, and customer experience.

By default, Show Single Variations applies the same visibility settings for all variable and variation products when indexing. However, if you want to make this specific to certain categories only, this guide will show you how.

1. From your WordPress dashboard, go to **WooCommerce** > **Show Single Variations** > **Index** and click on the **Run Indexer** button.

A popup will then appear allowing you to determine where you want your single variation products to show. Check the option **Select categories to apply visibility settings** and select the categories you want to apply the visibility settings to by typing the category name.

4. On the next screen, you can set visibility settings for the variable (parent) products. You can select the same or different categories.
