How to configure product options?

Introduction

The Product Options page centralizes three types of essential configurations to organize and structure your catalog:

• Variant options : Define the variable characteristics of your products (size, color, material, etc.) to create different versions of the same product.

Once created, these options will be available when configuring your products.
