Adding a Variant to a Product
You can add variants to your products to differentiate between things such as sizes, colors, or other custom variants.
Use variants when you want to make it required for a customer to make a selection before they can add an item to their cart or make a purchase. If you want to add optional selections, you can use Product Add Ons.
You can begin adding variants after adding a product or while editing an existing product from your product catalog.
To add a variant, start by clicking on Products
, then Product List
and selecting the product you want to edit.
Once you have selected the product you want to edit, click on
Advanced Options
from the menu on the right-hand side of your screen.
Next, toggle the radio button for Variants to
On
.
When this button is
On
, there you will see Variants
under the Product menu on the right-hand side of your screen.
Use the text box to type in the Option Name for your variant so it’s easily recognizable, then enter the Option Value for the different choices. For example, the Option Name could be Size, and the Option Value could be Small, Medium, and Large.
Once you’ve entered your information, click on
Add
to create the variant.
If your product has multiple variants, you can continue adding the different options here.
When you are done adding variants, click on
Next
.
Clicking
Next
will move you to the Generated Variants
page where you can enter additional details for your products using the text boxes. If one of the attributes doesn’t apply to your product, you can skip over it.
Price, Sales Price, Weight, Length, Width and Height: All the information can be individual adjusted here using the text boxes.
SKU: A SKU will be automatically generated for each variant that is created. Here you can adjust the SKU if you wish to have a different SKU.

Once you are done editing the variants, click on Save
