Adding variants to a product

PRODUCT MANAGEMENT > PRODUCTS

Since variants are essentially different versions of a product, they are always housed within the base product that they originate from.

Note: The Variant tab only appears in the product details panel if the administrator added variant attributes to the product definition your product uses.

1. Open the product details.
2. Click the Variants tab.
3. Click Add Variant.
4. If the variant requires a different name than the base product, click the toggle to switch between the Variant or Product attribute value.
• Select the Variant setting when you want to use the variant attribute value to help you identify different versions of a product variant.
• Select the Product setting when you want to fallback to original product attribute value, if the same attribute is not defined at the variant level.
