There is a short introduction to variants in the book (page 79ff). Short 
but quite comprehensive. Using Variants isn't very complicated.
Just create the wanted variants on the "Varianten" tab of the product as 
a semicolon seperated list . For example if you sell t-shirts in 
different sizes create at the input box "Größe" a line "S; M; L; XL".
If you want to have another price, weight or something else for the 
variant you have to create a new article. You have to connect the 
article to the product and set the wanted variant per article. For our 
example you would have to create 4 variants on with "S", on with "M" in 
the "Größe" field.
Don't forget to set plugin.tt_products.useArticles = 1 and make the 
needed changes to your template.
That should be all if I remember correctly.

Best regards

Bernd
