What Is a Variant on Shopify?

Last updated on January 11, 2023 @ 2:49 pm

A variant is a product option on Shopify that your customers can choose from when they purchase a product from your store. For example, if you sell shirts, a variant might be the color of the shirt.

If you sell shoes, a variant might be the size or style of the shoe.

Variants are important because they let you offer more products to your customers without having to create new product listings for each one. They also make it easy for customers to find the products they want on your store.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using Shopify to create a variant for your business, be aware that there are some important things to keep in mind. First, Shopify is a paid platform, so you will need to factor in the cost of using it. Second, Shopify is not easy to use, so you will need to be prepared to put in some time and effort to learn how to use it effectively. Finally, Shopify can be complex and time-consuming, so make sure you have the patience and perseverance to see it through.

To create a variant:

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Products > All products.

2. Find the product that you want to add a variant to, and then click Edit:

3. In the Product details section, click Add variant:

4. Enter the Variant name and Price:

5. Repeat steps 3-5 for each additional variant that you want to add.

Creating variants is a great way to offer more products to your customers without having to create new product listings for each one.
