Each option type that you define for a product allows you to create multiple variants of that type.
Once you have defined an option type, you can define option values that should be used with it. Option types and option values also have a presentation value, in case your store administrators and customers should see different values.
See the table below for examples of typical option types, values, and how they should be presented to customers:
