product Options Create
Requires access scope. Also: The user must have a permission to create product variants.
Creates one or more options on a product, such as size, color, or material. Each option includes a name, position, and a list of values. The combination of a product option and value creates a product variant.
Use the mutation for the following use cases:
- Add product choices: Add a new option, like "Size" (Small, Medium, Large) or "Color" (Red, Blue, Green), to an existing product so customers can select their preferred variant.
- Enable personalization features: Add options such as "Engraving text" to let customers customize their purchase.
- Offer seasonal or limited edition products: Add a new value (for example, "Holiday red") to an existing option to support limited-time or seasonal variants.
- Integrate with apps that manage product configuration: Allow third-party apps to add options, like "Bundle size", when customers select or customize product bundles.
- Link options to metafields: Associate a product option with a custom metafield, like "Fabric code", for richer integrations with other systems or apps.
The mutation enforces strict data integrity for product options and variants.
All option positions must be sequential, and every option should be used by at least one variant.
If you use the
variant strategy, consider the maximum allowed number of variants for each product
(100 by default, and 2,048 if you've
enabled the Extended Variants developer preview).
After you create product options, you can further manage a product's configuration using related mutations:
