Magento 2 Configurable Products

Magento 2 has the option to create configurable products. These are products that contain configurable attributes. There are two types of attributes: configurations and custom options.

Configurations

Configurations are used, for example, for t-shirts in different colors and sizes. When creating a configurable product, Magento automatically generates simple products for each possible combination.

Custom Options

Custom options allow customers to specify additional features for a product. For example, a personalized message on a t-shirt or a preferred packaging color. Magento 2 provides several types of custom options, such as text fields, dropdowns, and radio buttons.

Display in Picqer

The options selected in Magento will be visible in Picqer under the product in the order.

For custom options, Magento appends additional information to the SKU. This causes the SKU to differ, preventing Picqer from importing the product. If you remove the extra SKU from these options in Magento, Picqer will be able to import the product. The options will be displayed alongside the product in the order.
