A variant is a specific version of a product that differs from other versions based on certain attributes such as size, color, style, or other characteristics. Variants allow businesses to offer a range of options for a single product, catering to diverse customer preferences and needs. In inventory management and e-commerce, each variant typically has its own SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) to track inventory and sales separately.
For example, a t-shirt might have variants in different sizes (small, medium, large) and colors (red, blue, green). Offering product variants helps businesses enhance customer satisfaction by providing more choices and enables more precise inventory management by tracking the availability and performance of each specific version of the product.
