Product variants

Product variants are used to determine specific features or other versions of the product. Each variant can have a different price and stock item.

For example, a variant might be an XL size, cotton T-shirt.

Variants are directly related to Attributes, which represent different properties or parameters for products. Before creating a variant, the relevant attributes must first be created.

For example, a variant might be a size: S, M, L, or material: cotton, polyester.

Add a product variant

Before creating a variant, you must first create Attributes and their values and assign them to the product for which you will create variants.

1. Click Catalog (cube icon) and click Overview in the drop-down panel. Move the mouse cursor over the selected item and click the Edit icon (pencil) next to the relevant product.

Click Save.

You can change the description and information about the product, but you can only adjust the prices for a specific variant.
