If you sell products that have multiple options (such as color and size), you can list them as one base product with different options. As a result, customers can select the options they prefer on the product page.
With product options, you may also:
- offer extras (for example, gift wrapping)
- ask buyers to upload a file for an ordered product or service
- offer multiple selections to configure the final product
Create Options
To create product options:
- In the left panel, click eCommerce, and then click Manage Store.
- Click Catalog, and then click Products.

Product options may increase or decrease the price of a product, but they do not have their own quantity of SKU. To track the inventory of product options, use Product Variations.
