data objectrequired

id stringrequired

The unique identifier generated when an option is created.

type stringrequired

Possible values: [product-variation-option]

This represents the type of resource object being returned. Always product-variation-option.

attributes objectrequired

A variation option represents an option for selection for a single product-variation. For example, if your variation is color, you might have three possible options; red, green, and blue.

name string

A human-recognizable identifier for the option, also used in the SLUG for child products. Option names can only contain A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, hyphen, underscore, and period. Spaces or other special characters like ^, [], *, and $ are not allowed.

description string

A human-recognizable description for the option.

sort_order integer

The sort order value is visible when you add the variations and variation options to your catalogs. You can then use the sort_order value to program your storefront to display the variation options in the order that you want. The variation with the highest value of sort_order is displayed first. For example, a variation with a sort_order value of 3 appears before a variation with a sort_order value of 2. You can specify any numbers that you want. You can use 1, 2, 3, or 100, 90, 80, including, zero or negative numbers. You can set sort_order to either null or omit it entirely from the request if you wish to remove an existing sort_order attribute.

owner string

Possible values: [organization, store]

The owner of a resource, either organization or store.
