Note: To learn more about when a Variable product should be used instead of a Simple product, please visit the following article: Simple vs variable products
Products are the goods you sell in your shop. You can sell coffee, or any other goods, like T-shirts, brewing equipment, mugs, etc. Once you publish a product, it will automatically be displayed from your shop page.
Below is an example of products and with different variations:
- Simple product (no variations): A product that gets sold in one packaging unit (e.g. 250g) and exactly one grind style (e.g. whole). If you sell all your products from the shop in just one exact variation and you don’t need to set up production variations, you can just use a Simple product.
In our example, the product Ethiopia Washed – no variations can only be ordered in one weight (i.e. 250g), and grind style (i.e. Whole).
- Variable product (with variations): A product that gets sold in multiple variations in weight and grind style (or any other variation). Your customers will be able to select the variation they want to order on the product detail page.
In our example, the product House Blend – with variations can be ordered in multiple different weights (i.e. 250g, 500g, 1kg) and different grind styles (i.e. Whole bean, Filter, Espresso).
