Can I edit or remove product variants in Oberlo?

When editing Variants that the customer will select, as far as the color and sizes goes, can I remove half of this? For example, for one product, the variants says (black / L / Ch). Can I remove the "CH" or edit this my way such as Large - Black or something like that? Thanks.

Great question, @KImmery!

While your importing the products is the best time to edit them, so you can move ahead with editing the variants to have whatever name you'd like. You can also edit the product description here, and select which variants you do and do not want to import. Editing the products after you've already imported them into the Shopify admin may run the risk of severing the connection to Oberlo, which could cause problems down the line when orders come in. There is a great guide here from Oberlo on how to add and import products, it includes a video from our YouTube Help Centre too for clarity! This helpful guide might also be of use to you, this shows you how to edit your products while importing them from Oberlo.

If you need some inspiration on what kind of product descriptions to write, Oberlo also has some inspiration here on their blogs about how to write product descriptions that sell. How are you getting on with the imports so far? Are you just starting out with Shopify, or have you been selling for a while?
