How to add a product with variants
A product with variants is actually a group of products that are similar but are offered in different variants, for example: several sizes, colors, ...etc
Each variant of this product is a single stock keeping unit (SKU) and its inventory is independent of the products that are similar to it.
Each product can have as many attributes as needed.
In turn, each attribute can have as many variations as required.
Each combination of attributes and declinations, therefore forms a product variant.
Example:
Product with variants: Pants
Attribute 1: Size
Variations - Attribute 1: S, M, L
Attribute 2: Color
Variations - Attribute 2: Red, Blue, Black
Variant 1: Pants - S - Black
Variation #2: Pants - M - Blue
... etc
