For developers: Product variations

The products in the Ecommerce module can have variations. For example, if you have a T-Shirt as a product, you can have one and the same T-Shirt design in different sizes. In this case you can create a variations of the T-Shirt based on its size. To create variations based on the size, you must first create an attribute that represents the Size characteristic of the product and attribute values that represent the different sizes.

For more information about attributes, see the For developers: Product attributes section.

For more information about attribute values, see the For developers: Values of a product attribute section.
