Overview
This article explains how to add variants for a product during setup. Variants allow you to assign multiple attributes (such as color, size, or material) to a single product, ensuring that customers can view and select different options seamlessly.
Prerequisites
Before adding variants, ensure the following:
Product basic details and at least one product View must be added.
Required attributes must exist and be assigned to a Product Attribute Set.
The correct Product Attribute Set is available during variant setup.
Steps to Add Variants
Navigate to Merchandise > Product Setup.
Enter the Basic Details of the product and add a View.
From the left navigation, select Define Variants. Click on the Add New button.
In the Search bar, type the Attribute Set Name you want to assign to the product and click Search.
All matching Attribute Sets will be displayed.
Select the correct Attribute Set and click Continue.
A confirmation pop-up will appear. Click OK to proceed.
Select the checkbox to choose all attributes and enter the required Variant Details.
Once the details are added, click Save in the top-right corner.
A confirmation message will appear, and the variants will be successfully added.
Once the variant is added, it will start appearing on the variant list.

Q&A
Q1. I cannot find the Attribute Set when I search for it. What should I do?
Ensure the attribute has been created and is properly assigned to a Product Attribute Set.
Verify that you are typing the exact name of the Attribute Set in the search bar.
Q3. Do I need to assign a Default variant?
Yes, at least one variant should be marked as Default to avoid product load errors.
Q4. Can I upload different images for each variant?
Yes. Ensure all images are uniform in dimensions and consistent in presentation.
If a product has multiple views, the images for each view must remain uniform across all variants.
For example, all Front View images should look consistent for every variant, the same applies to Back View images, and likewise for all other views.
Q5. What if I want to add more variants later?
You can always go back to Define Variants and use the Add New option to include additional variants.
However, ensure that the required attribute value already exists. If it is not available, first add the attribute value before creating the new variant.
