They are used when you have a similar set of variations applied to multiple items (size in a clothes shop for instance)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If it only applies to one item then you may well be better off just building variations for the one item..&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I think this page explains it quite well:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/6689-item-options" target="_blank"&gt;Create and Manage Item Options with Square | Square Support Center - US (squareup.com)&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Bruce&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi guys,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Im fairly new to Square. I only have the free version as im a micro business.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I make Childrens clothes. Some i make as Custom Orders.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How (if possible) can i give my customers to ability to choose the fabric and size they want easily?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have read Item Modifiers, but im really confused. Is there a video or a dumb version i can follow?&lt;/P&gt;</description>
