Variants in Kanpla are add-ons you can attach to your products, allowing customers to choose what they want — without you needing to create multiple versions of the same product.
Imagine you’re selling a salad. With variants, you can let the customer choose:
Which side they want (bread, chicken, bacon)
What size they prefer (small, large)
Whether they want to add extras (like cheese or dressing)
You decide how many options the customer must select (e.g. “choose at least 1”), how many they can select (e.g. “choose up to 2”), and whether some variants come with an additional cost.
It’s a smart way to make your menu more flexible and engaging — without overwhelming the customer with too many products.
