You may choose to rename either or both fields to the name of your choosing (ie. Color/Length, or Size/Width).
Removing Options
Accumula users on Startup (formerly Pro) Plan or above may also choose to remove Variant Options entirely or to have only one field appear. For instance, if you wanted to only show “Color” options and all products are the same size you would remove the “Size” Variant Option from the product within Shopify as in the example below using the Trash Can icon.
When removing options, you must set Update Size and Update Color to Off in settings, to avoid errors.
