If your store offers products in different sizes, colors, or styles, you’ll be working with variants in Shopify. Variants allow you to manage multiple options under a single product, making it easier to keep your catalog organized while giving customers more choices.
Sometimes, though, you’ll need to make changes — like updating prices, adjusting inventory, or editing shipping details for a specific variant. The good news is Shopify makes this quick and easy to do. In this article, we’ll walk through the exact steps to edit variants in Shopify, along with tips to help you manage them more effectively.
Key Takeaways
- Shopify variants let you manage different product options (like size, color, or style) under one product. You can edit variant details — such as pricing, inventory, and shipping — directly from your Shopify admin.
- Shopify’s built-in variant editor is great for simple changes, but it has limits (3 options and 100 variants per product).
- For stores that need unlimited options or advanced customization, apps like Easify Product Options can provide the flexibility to go beyond Shopify’s default variant system.
How to Edit Variants on Shopify
Shopify makes it simple to update the details of your product variants. Whether you need to adjust pricing, inventory, or shipping information, you can do it directly from your admin dashboard. Here’s how:
1. Log in to your Shopify admin and go to Products.
2. Select the product that contains the variant you’d like to edit.
3. In the Variants section, click on the specific variant you want to change.
4. Update the details as needed — this could include:
- Option values (like size or color)
- Pricing
- Inventory levels
- Shipping information
5. Once you’ve made your changes, click Save.
That’s it! Your variant will now reflect the new details in your store.
Go Beyond Shopify Variants with Easify Product Options
While Shopify’s built-in variant editor works well for simple adjustments, it can feel limiting if your products require more customization or personalization. That’s where Easify Product Options comes in.
With Easify, you can unlock powerful features that go far beyond Shopify’s default variant system:

- Flexible input types: From dropdowns and swatches to checkboxes, radio buttons, date pickers, and custom size fields, you can match your product options to your exact needs.
- Upsell with add-ons: Link custom options to additional products or add-on pricing, boosting average order value.
- Smart conditional logic: Show or hide product options dynamically, based on customer selections.
