Pricing at the Product Variant Level

You can set different prices for each product variant in a product family. You can also edit variant prices after setting them to reflect market trends.

For example, assume you have a product family of Jackets that contains product variants for black jackets and brown jackets. You run a report to analyze sales, and you determine that black jackets are selling better than brown jackets. You can use this information to lower the price of the brown jackets at the variant level to increase their sales, but keep the price of the black jackets the same.
