Sometimes you want only some of a product's variants available in a market. You can now control catalog membership variant by variant.

### 🚀 What's New

- **Variant Included / market column** - Add `Variant Included / <Market>` to a product import or export to include or exclude a single variant from a Shopify Markets catalog (see [Product fields](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11490229-product-fields)).
- **Mixed availability per market** - Offer some variants in a market like Europe while excluding others, all from one spreadsheet.
- **Automatic product membership** - If any variant is included in a market, the product is published to that catalog automatically, so the variant shows up right away. To remove a whole product from a market, use the existing `Included / <Market>` column.
- **Round-trips on export** - Export a product and the same `Variant Included / <Market>` values come back, ready to re-import.
- **Alternative header** - Use `Variant Included Market <Market>` if your system cannot put a slash in column headers.

### 🔧 Improvements

- **Product-level column unchanged** - The existing `Included / <Market>` column still works the same way and stays Matrixify-compatible. An explicit product-level value takes precedence over variant settings.
