What is a variant property?
A variant property is a way to distinguish different product variants, whether it is by size, colour etc.
Examples of use cases:
• New variant of a product in the inventory (f.x colour, size)
• Limited edition variants
The purpose of this article is to teach you how to create new variant property options to already existing properties through the setting section.
How to create a variant property option?
Let’s go through the workflow of how to add it as an option to choose for your customers.
To do so, you have to:
1. Go to Settings → Definitions → Data types & find the data type that you can create an additional option for. (In our scenario it will be colour.)
Navigating to data types in settings
/w=3840,quality=80,fit=scale-down)
2. Create a new Data Type Enum and in the value field write the value that represents your situation, f.x Golden, and save it.
