​
Product Variants vs Product Customisations

​
Product Variants

  • Definition: Different versions of a product with distinct attributes and unique SKUs.
  • Usage: Use this when variations affect the SKU, price, or inventory.
  • Example: A t-shirt available in different sizes (S, M, L) and colors (red, blue, green).

​
Product Customisations

  • Definition: Add-ons or personalised options that enhance the base product without changing its core identity or SKU.
  • Usage: Use this for options or inputs like custom engravings, specific instructions, or additional toppings that don’t create a separate SKU but may influence the price.
  • Example: Custom engraving on a watch, extra toppings on a pizza, or instructions for a juice.
