Search, filter, and group variants
All your products variants are listed in the Variants section of the product details page. Variants are also grouped together by option. Searching and filtering your variant list can help you find the specific variants that you need to edit, review, or update.
You can search and filter option values to find specific variants, as well as filter by location to display available inventory for a specific location.
Search and filter variants by option value
In the Variants section of the product details page, you can search for variants by title, and filter your variant list to display a subset of variants matching a specific option value. If your variants have more than one option, then you can add one filter for each option. Option filters can be used with the search for more specific results. If you add more than one filter, then only the variants that match all of the conditions are displayed.
For example, you sell a hat that comes in many sizes and colors. The small size hats in black are going to be discounted as part of a sale, so you need to adjust the price of that variant. You can open the variant search and filter, and from the Size option, select Small, then from the Color option, select Black. This will adjust the variant list to only display the small, black hat.
