The ProductVariant object represents a version of a product that comes in more than one option, such as size or color. For example, if a merchant sells t-shirts with options for size and color, then a small, blue t-shirt would be one product variant and a large, blue t-shirt would be another.

Use the ProductVariant object to manage the full lifecycle and configuration of a product's variants. Common use cases for using the ProductVariant object include:

• Tracking inventory for each variant
• Setting unique prices for each variant
• Assigning barcodes and SKUs to connect variants to fulfillment services
• Attaching variant-specific images and media
• Setting delivery and tax requirements
• Supporting product bundles, subscriptions, and selling plans

A ProductVariant is associated with a parent Product object. ProductVariant serves as the central link between a product's merchandising configuration, inventory, pricing, fulfillment, and sales channels within the GraphQL Admin API schema. Each variant can reference other GraphQL types such as:

• InventoryItem: Used for inventory tracking
• Image: Used for variant-specific images
• SellingPlanGroup: Used for subscriptions and selling plans
