Adding Product Options and Variants

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.
