Variants¶
Variants allow you to sell multiple versions of the same product, such as different sizes or colors.
Common variant examples¶
- Size: S, M, L, XL
- Color: Red, Blue, Black
- Weight: 250g, 500g, 1kg
- Material: Cotton, Silk, Leather
Each variant can have its own:
- price
- SKU
- stock quantity
- image (if supported)
When to use variants¶
Use variants when:
- products share the same core identity
- differences are selectable options
- pricing or inventory differs per option
Avoid variants when products are fundamentally different — create separate products instead.
Best practices¶
- Keep variant names simple and consistent
- Avoid creating too many combinations unless necessary
- Test variant selection on mobile before going live
