> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

Product options offer your [customers](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/customers.md) greater variability in choosing the right [product](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/products.md). Options are customizable properties of individual products or even additional products added as accessories. The system allows you to organize the options by dividing them into categories of the following types:

- **Attribute** (e.g._, Color of clothing_)
- **Products** (e.g., _Portable PC accessories_, _Configurable PC – Operating system_)
- **Text** (e.g., _Book – Inscription_)

For example, your on-line store sells books (products) and your customers can optionally buy the books with inscriptions (product options). Or perhaps your store sells T-shirts and allows your customers to buy the T-shirts (products) in multiple colors (product options).

Another use of product options consists in offering them as **special additions to the products**. For example, your store sells portable computers (products), and your customers can optionally order the computers with portable printers (product options).

Additionally, you can offer product options as **components of products** they constitute. For example, hardware components (product options) of a configurable computer system (product).

You can also offer **combinations of product options** from multiple product option categories **as product variants of the product**. For example, the T-shirts (products) that you offer in your on-line store are available in different sizes and colors (product options from two different product option categories). Each combination of size and color for a given T-shirt (product variant) behaves in the system as a separate product. This means that each variant has its own SKU (product number), price, and stock records. Learn more about [product variants](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/products/working-with-product-variants.md).

> **Info:** Currently, the system doesn't support [volume discounts](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/discounts/working-with-volume-discounts.md) for product options.

> **Tip:** You can manage product options from three places in the Xperience administration:
>
> - In the **Product options** application, in which you can find all product options. There you can connect products to product options.
> - In the **Products** application, in which you can find all products. There you can connect product options to products.
> - In the **Pages** application on the **SKU -> Options** tab on pages connected to products. There you can also connect product options to products.
