| Organise certain products as variants of a single master product for online display and search purposes on your site. This way, you don't have to upload and maintain 20+ variations for dozens of products on your site, which isn't very efficient. Customers can then select from available variants (the 'child' products) in the one Product detail page. |

Let's use an example to explain the feature, for instance,
...
with a Colour / Size scenario.
Imagine that product CV149 is a High-vis Safety Vest. It's available in several different sizes and colours:
- 'CV149SMYY' might represent size small, colour yellow
- 'CV149MDYY' is size medium, colour yellow.
- In fact, when you list all the possible colour and size combinations, you might have upwards of 20 SKUs just for this one product.
But uploading and maintaining 20+ variations for dozens of products on your site isn't very efficient. The end result would probably overwhelm your customers, too. That's where Product Variants come in.
Instead of putting all 20+ variations on the web, you can display one product (the 'master') online, and then allow your customers to select from available variants (the 'child' products).
