Use the product variant wizard to create a variant parent for a selection of existing products.

1. Select products that will be the children of a parent product in the product list and click **Create Parent**.
2. Use the dropdown to select the variant type. If any child product is missing a variant property for the variant type you select, you will see a validation warning and may choose a different variant type.

3. Click **Continue**. If any child products are missing data for the variant properties or have duplicate values for the variant properties, you are prompted to correct the data and click **Continue**.
4. Enter the information for the **Product Title**, **Product Number,** and **URL Segment** of the new parent product. The URL Segment ignores spaces and converts certain special characters.
