Product Variants (Color & Sizes)

If your product range includes items that come in different sizes and colors, it's important to consider setting up variants to help customers find the products they need. Variants allow you to create unique combinations of attributes for each product, making it easier for customers to select the right size and color for their needs.

For instance, let's say you sell t-shirts in various sizes and colors. You might have three size options: small, medium, and large, and two color options: blue and red. Using variants, you could create a unique combination for each t-shirt, such as a small blue t-shirt or a medium red t-shirt.

You can add variants directly to your product management system when creating a new product. You can also make changes to variants for existing products at any time.

Add variants for a new product.

To add variants while you're adding a product, go to the Add product page, and click the Color & Sizes tab.

Add sizes to your product

  1. Select a size list for your product or add a new one.
  2. Size List - Size lists are added to make consistent sizes across the store for similar products.
    For example, if you are selling t-shirts and footwear in your store, then t-shirts can have a size list of small, medium, and large, while a shoe can have a different size list of 10, 11, 12, etc.
  3. All sizes in that size list appear with checkboxes. All sizes will be checked by default.
  4. Check the sizes that you want to sell for that product.
  5. Check the Allow Custom Size option if you want to add a custom size option for that product.
  6. Custom Size – Custom sizes allow you to take size information from the customer for custom-made products. You can add all fields that you want to take size input from the customer. Fields could be text or pre-defined options.
  7. Select a custom-size list for your product or add a new one.
