Note

The procedure for editing variants for stores with multiple locations is different than the method that you use for stores with only one location.

Change variant details

You can change the details for a specific variant. For example, you can change the price of the variant, or change its image.

If you're editing a variant for the online store and you select Continue selling when out of stock, then you can continue selling products when your inventory reaches zero and below. For example, you have zero stock but are using a product listing as a pre-order and want customers to be able to buy the product. As the product is purchased, your stock levels will drop below zero. However, if you deselect this option because you don't want to sell a product that has sold out, then customers can't buy the product.

When your customers are viewing your products, they see variant options in a particular order. You can change the display order on the product details page.

Note

When you re-order variants, the order in which they are display in depends on the variants that the product has. If the product doesn't have a variant matching the order that you set, then the order of variants are adjusted depending on what variants the product has.
