Variations

Product variations are products that vary in a few parameters such as color, size, or material. They are often used for products that have different options or configurations that customers can choose from.

In O2VEND eCommerce, product variations can be created and managed in the back-end system, and the price, SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) and GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) can be set up differently for each variation.

SKU is a unique identifier that is assigned to a specific product variation, and it is used to track inventory and sales. GTIN is a unique identifier that is used to identify a product across different retailers, and it can include the UPC (Universal Product Code), EAN (International Article Number), and ISBN (International Standard Book Number) codes.

It's important to note that each variation of a product should have its own unique SKU and GTIN, as this will make it easier to track inventory and sales for each variation. Additionally, it's important to set the correct price for each variation, as this can impact the profitability of the product.

Product variations can be useful in increasing sales by providing customers with more options and configurations to choose from. However, it can also make the product management more complex, and it's necessary to make sure that the correct prices, SKU and GTIN are applied to the correct variations, and that the product variations align with the overall business strategy.
