Product Variants Add-on

What are product variants and how to create or edit them

Add variants to your products that come in more than one option, like different sizes or colors. If some variants have a different value than others, you can set price increases to them. Similarly to product availability, also variant level availability is easy to track by linking them to your inventory. For example, suppose that you offer a touring bicycle product with three different size options: small, medium and large. You can create variants for the different sizes of this product.
