# Show variant count on product cards

Keystone can display how many variants a product has (for example “3 options”) on collection grids, sliders, and other product cards. The **Show variant count** setting is global—it applies to all products that use product cards, including single-variant products.

## Enable the setting

1. Open **Online Store** > **Themes** > **Customize**.
2. Open **Theme settings** (gear icon).
3. Go to **Product cards**.
4. Enable **Show variant count**.
5. Click **Save**.

| Setting            | Location                               | Default |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------- | ------- |
| Show variant count | **Theme settings** > **Product cards** | Off     |

## What customers see

When enabled, product cards show a line such as **3 options** next to variant or SKU details. The count uses the product’s total variant count (`product.variants_count`) and the theme’s **options** label.

### Single-variant products

Keystone does **not** hide the variant count for products with only one variant. A single-variant product may show **1 options**, which can look redundant next to products that have multiple sizes or colors.

There is no per-product toggle for this setting. Options if the label is unwanted on single-variant items:

* **Turn off Show variant count** globally if most of your catalog is single-variant.
* **Use product tags and custom CSS** (developer task) to hide the count on specific cards—this requires custom code and falls under [modified-code support limits](/keystone/general/support-policy.md).
* **Leave it on** if the count helps B2B buyers quickly scan configurable vs. simple SKUs across a large catalog.

## Relationship to other product card settings

**Show variant count** is independent of:

* **Show SKU** — displays the first variant’s SKU
* **Show swatches** — color or option swatches on the card
* **Quick add** — add-to-cart from collection pages

You can enable any combination in **Theme settings** > **Product cards**.

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
