One product, many options
Variants let you sell the same product in several options, a t-shirt in S/M/L, a print in two sizes, a course in standard and premium, without creating separate products. Each variant carries its own price and its own stock.
Adding variants to a product
Step 1 — Edit the product. In the store admin, open Products and create or edit a product.
Step 2 — Add variants. In the variants area, add one row per option: give it a name buyers will understand (“Small”, “A3”, “Hardcover”), set its price, and set how many you have in stock.
Step 3 — Save. Your storefront now shows the options on the product page; the price updates as the buyer picks one.
Stock is tracked per variant
Each variant's inventory counts down independently as orders come in, selling out of Small doesn't hide Medium. Restock by editing the variant's stock number.
Tips
- Keep variant names short, they render as options at checkout and in the cart.
- Deleting a product removes its variants with it, so nothing is orphaned.
- Combine with your payment options and rich product descriptions for a complete product page.
