# Variant options

{% hint style="success" %} <mark style="color:green;">**Shopify**</mark> To add and edit variants for products with multiple options (e.g. colors, sizes) go to *Products* in the Shopify admin. Learn more in [Shopify's variant options guide](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/variants).
{% endhint %}

On product pages, the **Variant selector** allows customers to choose the product options they want. The selector can display variants as either a **dropdown list**, **color swatches,** or **chips (boxes)**.

By default, swatches are enabled for options named "Color" and chips are enabled for options named "Size".

### Dropdown list

All product options *except* "Color" and "Size". To use dropdowns, remove the options names from both **Variant options for swatches** and **Variant options for chips**.

### Swatches

By default, all product options named "Color" will display swatches. To change which product options should use swatches, add or remove the option names in **Variant options for swatches** in **Theme settings > Products**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Required** Set up colors for swatches using [default colors](https://help.fluorescent.co/lorenza/product-pages/variant-options/variant-swatches/use-default-colors) or [uploaded images](https://help.fluorescent.co/lorenza/product-pages/variant-options/variant-swatches/use-custom-images). After setting up, you can choose to display swatches in [product listings](https://help.fluorescent.co/lorenza/products/product-listings#product-card-elements) and [collection filters](https://help.fluorescent.co/lorenza/collection-pages/filters-and-sorting).
{% endhint %}

### Chips (boxes)

By default, all product options named "Size" will display chips (rectangles around variant names). To change which product options should use chips, add or remove the option names in **Variant options for chips** in **Theme settings > Products**.

> Learn more about enabling chips and customize their style in the [Variant chips guide](https://help.fluorescent.co/lorenza/product-pages/variant-options/variant-chips).
