If your store has products that have variants (like colors and sizes), they can be listed as one base product with options. Having variants lets you give a unique SKU and UPC to each variant that enables tracking the inventory level of every variation(eg: Red M size t-shirt) of the product separately. Options are used to customize products as per customer need, for example, customers can request a gift wrap or add toppings to a pizza.
