8. Now you can enter option variations. There are always two blank rows to begin with (and option without two variations doesn't make much sense)

   • Green

11. If the variation does not involve a change of price, leave the Price difference box set to zero and the input box to the right of it, blank. Otherwise if your option is more expensive than the base product, choose "+" here and enter how much to add to the base price when the customer chooses this option.  Similarly choose "-" if the option reduces the price of the base product
12. Into the input box labeled Internal code, you can enter a code for the variation. The code may be a letter or a number
