Options/Option Sets are one of two types of product variants. For example, let's say you sell t-shirts. You have a shirt that comes in two colors (red and blue) and three sizes (small, medium, and large). You may have a selection of small red, medium red, large red, small blue, medium blue, and large blue.


If you need to track these as a single item, you will want to use options/option sets.


Options are the choices you wish to input into the system.

Options Sets are the output of every combination of Options. You define which Option Sets are available for customers to choose from.
