Managing Variants in Swim (Stock Sync Users)
Variants are used when a stock item is available in multiple styles, such as size or metal type.
Example: You sell rings with the following options:
- Size: 8, 9, 10
- Metal Type: Gold, Silver
One specific variant would be a gold, size 10 ring.
You can view a list of variants for a stock item on its Item Details page. Bulk management of variants can also be done via Stock > Variants.
