Setting up product variants

Another nice feature that comes with the eCommerce application is the ability to create product variants. This is a particularly important feature for the business case we have been using throughout this book. Product variants allow you to offer different options for the same product; for example, a T-shirt will often come in various sizes and colors, or a computer company may want to offer a product with different memory options.

In Odoo 12, product variants are not turned on by default in the eCommerce application. To turn on the product variants option, click on Settings in the Configuration section under the Sales menu:

Under Product Catalog, select the Attribute and Variants option.

To create product variants, you need to navigate to the product you wish to create the variants for. Let's create variants for Class of 2018 T-shirt.
