Products - How to Manage Product Variants

Product Variants are just different versions of the same product, like offering a t-shirt in various colors or sizes.

Imagine you’re running an online store using ClickFunnels, eager to offer your best-selling item in various styles to attract a wider audience. For instance, you are selling T-shirts with options for both size and color. You might have small, medium, and large sizes available in blue and green. Each combination of size and color represents a specific variant, like a small blue T-shirt.

In this article, you’ll learn step-by-step instructions for adding, updating, and deleting product variants in ClickFunnels.
