How do I track product variant conversion separately?

As an e-commerce store owner, I'm struggling to understand how to track conversion rates for individual product variants. My current analytics only show overall product performance, but I want to dive deeper and understand which specific color, size, or style variations are driving more sales. I need a comprehensive strategy to break down my conversion data at the variant level to make more informed inventory and marketing decisions. What methods can I use to get granular insights into my product variant performance?
