A variation listing allows you to group similar products together under a single listing, with options like size, colour, or material. This makes it easier for customers to view and choose between variations of the same product—such as a t-shirt available in different sizes or a pair of socks in multiple colours. In Selro, variation listings are created by linking individual SKUs (child products) to a parent product that acts as the main listing.
