Products Guide

Out-of-box, Znode supports multiple Product Types; Simple, Bundled, Grouped, and Configurable Products.

Product Types

Type	Description
Simple	Simple products get associated to a single SKU. Simple products can be used to build Grouped, Bundled, Configurable or Add-On products.
	Example: Simple Product: Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 3, on DVD SKU: STTNG003
Grouped	Grouped products are several SKU's that have been associated together. Customers can choose to purchase one, more than one, or all of the SKU's associated together. Think of a Grouped product as the SKU multiselect list.
	Example: Grouped Product: Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Complete Series, on DVD SKUs: STTNG001, STTNG002, STTNG003, STTNG004, STTNG005, STTNG006, STTNG007 With Grouped, customers can choose one, some, or all of the seasons from within the grouped product.
Bundled	Bundled Products work similar to Grouped, except the associated products can only be purchased as a bundle.
	Example: Bundled Product: Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Complete Series, on DVD SKUs: STTNG001, STTNG002, STTNG003, STTNG004, STTNG005, STTNG006, STTNG007 With Bundled, customers can "take all or nothing" with associated SKU's.
Configurable	A configurable product is a single product with multiple variations. Each variation is a unique simple product. Inventory is tracked by the SKU of the simple product for each variation.
	Example: Configurable Product: Star Trek: The Next Generation Uniform-Large SKUs: RED-L, GOLD-L, BLUE-L With Configurable, customers choose from a list of configurable attributes. Each Attribute configuration is tied to a unique SKU.
