Variants and options

Model

• Option: a type of choice (Color, Size).
• Variant: one combination of option values (Red / Small).

Aeolian generates one variant per combination of values. Color (Red, Blue) and Size (S, M, L) produces 6 variants. A product with no options has one variant.

Add an option

Steps:

1. Open the product. Go to the Variants section.

2. Click Add options like size or color (or Add another option).

3. Enter the Option name (for example, Color).

4. Enter values (Red, Blue), pressing Enter after each.

5. Click Done.

Variants generate automatically from the options. There is no separate generate step.

Variant fields

Each variant is a row in the table below the options. Edit inline:

• Price
• Stock quantity
• Image

Select rows and use Bulk edit to change many at once. See Manage your products.

Deleting values deletes variants

Removing an option value deletes every variant using it. Removing Red from Color deletes Red / Small, Red / Large, and so on. This is permanent and cannot be undone from the UI.

Variant cap

Maximum 2,048 variants per product. The cap is on variants, not on options or values: add any number of options and values as long as their combinations total 2,048 or fewer.

• 10 colors x 10 sizes x 10 materials = 1,000. Allowed.
• 20 x 20 x 20 = 8,000. Rejected on save.

See Limits and caps.

Shortcuts

On the product page, outside a text field:

• Shift+A: add a variant.
• Cmd+Backspace (Ctrl+Backspace on Windows): delete selected variant rows.
