In this section, you can manage the Options and Attributes of your product variants.
Variants: sometimes the same product is available in different styles or types. For example, you might sell shoes in a number of different sizes, or a table in different materials.
Options: for example, if the product is available in different colors as well as different sizes. Colors and sizes are options.
Attributes: for example, if the product is available in different material, wood and plastic. Wood and plastic are the attributes of their parent option (material).
