Understand products and variants

Products and variants work together to describe what you sell in Spaaza Console. A product is the parent catalog record for an item, while variants hold the specific sellable versions of that product.

Expected result

• You understand that products hold the shared item record.
• You understand that variants sit inside a product and store the sellable versions of that item.
• You know which page to open when you need product-level details or variant-level details.

Review products and variants in Console

1. Open a product from All Products.
2. On the product Overview page, review shared product fields such as Name, Category, Owner code, Brand, and product pricing.
3. Use the Variants tab to see how many variants belong to that product.
4. Open Variants to review the child records linked to the product.
5. Open an individual variant when you need to check variant-specific fields such as GTINs, size, colour, URLs, or variant pricing.
6. Return to the product Overview page when you need the parent item record and its overall product context.

• Use a product for the shared catalog definition of the item.

• Use variants for the item versions that need their own GTINs or other sellable attributes.

• Manage variants from inside the parent product rather than treating them as standalone products.

• Creating and Editing Products

• Creating and Editing Variants

• Products and Variant Insights

If something looks different

• If you cannot find Variants, open a product record first. The variant relationship is shown inside the parent product.
• If a product has no variants yet, the Variants tab may show an empty state until the first one is added.
• If you are unsure whether to edit a product or a variant, use the product for shared fields and the variant for GTIN-specific item versions.
