## Mutations

* [product​Option​Update](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productOptionUpdate)

  mutation

  Updates an [option](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/ProductOption) on a [product](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Product), such as size, color, or material. Each option includes a name, position, and a list of values. The combination of a product option and value creates a [product variant](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/ProductVariant).

  Use the `productOptionUpdate` mutation for the following use cases:

  * **Update product choices**: Modify an existing option, like "Size" (Small, Medium, Large) or "Color" (Red, Blue, Green), so customers can select their preferred variant.
  * **Enable personalization features**: Update an option (for example, "Engraving text") to let customers customize their purchase.
  * **Offer seasonal or limited edition products**: Update a value (for example, "Holiday red") on an existing option to support limited-time or seasonal variants.
  * **Integrate with apps that manage product configuration**: Allow third-party apps to update options, like "Bundle size", when customers select or customize [product bundles](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/product-merchandising/bundles).
  * **Link options to metafields**: Associate a product option with a custom [metafield](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/custom-data), like "Fabric code", for richer integrations with other systems or apps.

  ***

  Note

  The `productOptionUpdate` mutation enforces strict data integrity for product options and variants. All option positions must be sequential, and every option should be used by at least one variant.

  ***

  After you update a product option, you can further manage a product's configuration using related mutations:

  * [`productOptionsCreate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productOptionsCreate)
  * [`productOptionsDelete`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productOptionsDelete)
  * [`productOptionsReorder`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productOptionsReorder)
  * [`productVariantsBulkCreate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productVariantsBulkCreate)
  * [`productVariantsBulkUpdate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productVariantsBulkUpdate)
  * [`productSet`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productSet)
