Variant
Introduction
In case a customer wants to explore all possible options before purchasing a product, it's imperative to show different variants of the same product. A variant could mean different colours, size, shapes of the same product. For e.g. a backpack in red, blue and brown color is said to have 3 colour variants. A smartphone with 64GB and 128GB is said to have 2 memory variants.
You can customize the variants that you want to display on the product description pages.
How To Customize Variants?

Let's say, a T-shirt is available in multiple color variants. These variants will be shown on the PDP page as shown below. This section can be modified through Platform Panel.

It might take up to 1 hour to view the changes. Since these configurations aren't used regularly, the caching duration is active and new changes might take some time to reflect on your website.
