Product Parent/Child, Attributes, and Specifications



Also known as product variants or product family/families, this section shows the CloudCommerce Parent/Child, Attributes, and Specification tabs of the Add/Edit product portion of the administration area.

Product Specifications: Are used for the filter/faceted search. 

Product Attributes: Are also shown in filter/faceted search, but are used primarly for associating drop down menus on the product page.

Parent Products: Products which are not purchasable without first selecting an associated child product. Parents always have children underneath them, allowing you to organize models and SKUs with many variants together. Parent products can have Specifications assigned.

Child Products: Child products always have a Parent. Child products can have specifications and attributes assigned to them. Child products are individual SKUs available for purchase.

A good example of this is with shoes:

-Parent Product: Hiking Boot
     _Specifications: 
          .Material: Leather
          .Sole: Rubber
          .Weight: 3 lbs
--Child Product: Hiking Boot, Tan, Size 10
     _Specifications: 
          .Material: Leather
          .Sole: Rubber
          .Weight: 3 lbs
          _Attributes
               (Color: Tan)
               (Size: 10)
