How do product variants work?

Updated 2026-10-10

Variants are the options on a listing, such as size or supplier SKUs, when the product form includes them.

What to do

  1. Edit the product and open its options or variants.
  2. Set the price and stock for each variant you actually sell.
  3. Save and check the product page as a buyer would.

Eligibility

Only variants you save can be purchased. Imported supplier products keep the supplier’s variant mapping so stock sync can update them.

If something goes wrong

  • If a variant is missing at checkout, it was not saved or has no stock.
  • Changing a supplier variant by hand can break stock sync. Edit selling details, not the supplier identity, unless you know they must change.

See inventory management if a variant shows as unavailable.
