Product variants are used to manage products that have different variations, like size, color, etc.
Follow the steps below to set up your variants.

In the steps below, we will setup variants for a cordless tool product with multiple power options.
The data below will be used in this example:

|---|---|---|
| 101 | 12v | 4.0Ah |
| 102 | 18v | 5.1Ah |
| 103 | 20v | 5.4Ah |
| 104 | 20v | 5.8Ah |
