Hi

Its not clear how to use new Opencart 4 feature Variant Product. Can you explain it?

Actually what I expected:
1) I created master product.
2) Then I create Variant Product based on master product.
3) When I open master product then I will see its varinats and can click on them. And otherwise: if I open variant product then I can see master product. Expected that it will look like options but with the ablity to open variant product and see other price/photos/additional info etc. But Variant Products looks like it standalone products and they don't connected between each other.

A variant product is pretty much an independent product, except it takes it field values from the master product, unless you have overridden certain fields. Simple concept, though in practice I don't see much of a usefulness for it. Personally, I'd create a genuine copy of an existing product and then modify it as needed.

And does the main product carry the main canonical link? For example, if we split a product from the main product, does that product show the canonical to the main?

Are we telling Google to ignore the variants? The SEO weight should be pointed to the main ?

I sell a product that is a supplement, for example, LIONS MANE Capsules. This product has Capsules in 30, 60 and 120. Would it be better to use the options with a drop-down box, or would the new variant work just as good

You have to use the variant product category to show otherwise you will see only the master product.
