# OptionValue in Storefront API

A new type called [`ProductOptionValue`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/unstable/objects/ProductOptionValue) has been added to the new storefront API and is nested as a new field [`optionValues`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/unstable/objects/ProductOption#field-productoption-optionvalues) on the [`ProductOption`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/2024-07/objects/ProductOption) type.

As of 2024-07, you can use the `optionValues` field to fetch the option values associated with an option. This field deprecates the existing \[`values`] (<https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/2024-04/objects/ProductOptionValue>) and provides richer option value information including swatches.
