Attributes and options define the different versions of an item — for example, Color as the attribute and Red, Blue as its options. To set them up:

1.  Go to **Items** > **New Item** and select the item type as **Contains Variants**. You can also edit an existing item and turn on **Contains Variants** in the **General Details** section.
2.  Scroll to the **Variations** section.
3.  Enter the **Attribute** name (e.g. Color, Size) and the corresponding **Options** (e.g. Red, Blue / S, M, L) on the same row. You can add multiple attributes and options by clicking **\+ Add more attributes**.
4.  Check **Are your options color identified?** if the attribute represents a colour, so customers can pick from colour swatches on the storefront.
5.  The **Variants** table below is populated automatically with all combinations. For each variant you can set the **SKU** (or use **Generate SKU** to auto-fill) and the **Selling Price** per unit. Use **Copy to All** to apply the same price across all variants at once.
6.  Under **Custom Fields**, select a layout if you have custom fields configured for items.
7.  Click **Save**.
