Remarks

A product variant is an instance of the Variant type. Product Variants are sellable units. They can be ranked inside a product family. Product variants are products that are similar but differ by only one or two properties. For example, suppose you have a clothing catalog with a category for shirts. A group of shirts may have the same description (soccer shirts) and manufacturer (Adventure Works), but have different sizes and colors. You can create a product definition with normal properties description and manufacturer and variant properties color and size. For more information, see CatalogDefinition.
