Each combination of option values for a product can be a variant for that product. _For example: a T-shirt has 2 colors: black and white, and available in 2 sizes: Small and Medium. Then this T-shirt will have (2x2) = 4 variants: black in Small, black in Medium, white in Small, white in Medium._ teeinblue supports 2 options in a variant: **Color and Size.** If a campaign contains more than one product bases, then the product base's name will be the 3rd option in a variant. When launching a campaign to Shopify store later, variants of all products in that campaign will become **correspondent variants of Shopify product.** ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/6085dc2a7293d800/image_kp7t0p.png) Variants will be **shown on live store** for your customers to choose like this: ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/6085dc2a7293d800/variants-pb2_2g6avt.png) || A product base requires **at least one variant.** # Create new variant | If you import product from a provider's catalog, available variants of that product will be automatically imported as well.
