Easily add and manage product variant options to give customers more choice and keep your inventory under control
Variants let you offer different versions of the same product, such as sizes, colors, or styles. Instead of creating separate products, you can manage everything easily and track inventory more effectively. This article guides you through adding variants, setting inventory, and maintaining an organized product catalog.
Configure product variants
- From your Fourthwall dashboard, go to Products.
-
Select the product you want to edit and click Edit product design.
Sizes
-
Sizes available depend on the base product (for example, Bella + Canvas 3001 includes sizes S–XXL).
-
In the editor, check or uncheck the sizes you want to offer. Unchecked sizes will not appear in your shop.
Colors
-
Many products come in multiple fabric colors. In the editor, select the available colors you’d like to sell.
- You can upload a unique design or image for each color if needed.
Note:
- Variant options vary by product type (e.g., apparel vs mugs).
- Each size and color combination creates a separate variant automatically.
