Use this article to add variant options such as Size and Color in the Product Variants card of the product form, review the combinations Shop+ generates, and set a price and SKU per combination. Variants let one product come in several versions – a tote bag in two sizes and two colors, for example – without creating four separate products.
1. How do I add a variant option?
To add a variant option, open the product and scroll to the Product Variants card. Click Add option.
Enter an Option name (for example Size) and then type each value in Option values, pressing Enter after each one (Small, Large).
Click Add option again to add a second option such as Color with the values Natural and Black.
2. What is in the Variant combinations table?
The Variant combinations table in the Product Variants card fills in automatically – every value of the first option combined with every value of the second. Each row shows an image slot, the variant, price, strikethrough, tag pricing, availability and SKU columns. By default every combination uses the Pricing panel amount, meaning the base price of the product.
3. How do I set a different price or SKU for each combination? (optional)
To charge different prices per variant combination, tick Priced by Add-Ons in the Product Variants card. The price boxes become editable. In this example the two Large variants are set to $26 while Small stays at the base price of $22.
Scroll the Variant combinations table to the right to enter a SKU for each combination – useful for barcode scanning and inventory.
4. How do I save the variants?
To save the variants, click Update Product on the product form. In the Products list the product now shows a 2v badge (two variant options) next to its name.
Note: Inventory for variants is tracked per combination once you enable inventory tracking on the product (see the Inventory articles).
