A specific version of a product available for sale, differentiated by options like size or color. For example, a small blue t-shirt and a large blue t-shirt are separate variants of the same product. For more information, see the docs on Shopify's product model.

For products with quantity rules, variants enforce minimum, maximum, and increment constraints on purchases.

Variants also support subscriptions and pre-orders through selling plan allocations objects, bundle configurations through product variant components objects, and shop pay installments pricing for flexible payment options.
