Products & Variants

Your product catalog in Commerce is represented by a pair of element types.

  • Products are the top-level container for goods and content.
  • Variants represent individual purchasables that are ultimately added to carts.

Every product must have one or more variants, and every variant belongs to a single product.

To illustrate the relationship between products and variants, consider the needs of a store that sells apparel.

A particular pair of tennis shoes is available in two colors, and in U.S. half-size increments from 6 to 12. The product we’re describing might have a name like “Court Balance DX,” while the variants represent each intersection of a color and size. This is both a key discovery tool (customers need to find shoes that fit their feet and style), and a necessary business tool for the store owner (tracking inventory, accounting for shipping weight, visualizing sales).

In this example, the product would hold all the marketing information like text, photos, and graphics, while the variants represent unique, saleable variations. Customers shop for a shoe that is aligned with their needs and tastes, but buy a specific size and color.

Products

Products organize your goods into logical bundles of variants. A product itself is never actually purchased—what goes into a cart for purchase is one of the product’s variants. In this way, the product is free to house some globally-relevant attributes or content, while the variants describe specific physical or digital items.

In the same way that Craft’s native element types each share a set of common attributes, every Commerce product has a Title, Slug, Post Date, Expiry Date, and per-site status options.

Product Types

Product Types provide a way to distinguish classes of goods in your stores. Manage product types in the control panel from <Journey path="Commerce, System Settings, Product Types" />.

Despite their similarities to entries, a product’s type cannot be changed after it is created.

Product Type Options

Each product type has the following settings. Some product type settings govern the behavior of the variants nested within it!

Name
The name of the product type as displayed in the control panel. Customers only see this if you explicitly output it in the front-end (or in an email or PDF).
Handle
The handle is what you’ll use to reference the product type in code. In Twig, you would query for products with the clothes type like this: 
{% set clothes = craft.products()
  .type('clothes')
  .all() %}
Enable structure for products of this type <Since product="Commerce" repo="craftcms/commerce" ver="5.4.0" feature="Structure mode for product types" />
Products can be organized hierarchically, like structure sections.
Default Product Placement
Where new products should be placed by default in the structure. Defaults to After other products, but can be changed to Before other products.
Max Levels
Limit the depth that products can be nested by providing a non-zero integer.
Enable versioning for products of this type
Enable versioning to stage and revert product content changes with Craft’s drafts and revisions system. Provisional drafts (“autosaving,” colloquially) is always enabled.
Show the Title field for products
When enabled, each product will require a Title. Disable this if you’d like to generate titles with an object template, using values of other attributes or fields.
Title translation method <Since product="Commerce" repo="craftcms/commerce" ver="5.1.0" feature="Product title translation method settings" />
When using custom titles, you can choose how titles are synchronized across sites that the product exists in. The options are identical to those available in custom fields.
For [multi-store](stores.md) projects, you can use the **Custom…** option with a key format like this to synchronize titles across sites that use the same store:

```
{site.store.handle}
```
Product Title Format
If you are not using custom product titles, you must provide an object template so Commerce can generate one. Make sure your underlying data is distinct enough for customers and store managers to differentiate them!
Automatic SKU Format
Defines what variants’ auto-generated SKUs should look like when left empty. This setting is defined as an object template, meaning it can include dynamic values such as {product.slug} or {myCustomField}. ::: tip The SKU format is always evaluated in the context of a variant, so product attributes must be prefixed with product, like {product.myCustomField}. ::: Commerce requires that SKUs are unique across all variants in the system—including anything in the trash—so avoid using static or ambiguous values (like PLACEHOLDER) that are apt to collide when first saving a variant.
Order Description Format
Like the Automatic SKU Format, this is also an object template that is rendered in the context of a variant. It can include tags that output properties of the variant or its product, like {myVariantCustomField} or {product.title}. The rendered string is ultimately stored in line items’ description attribute, and used to identify the purchasable in a customer’s cart (and the control panel). Changing a description format does not apply to completed orders, retroactively.
Max Variants
Limit the number of variants allowed by products of this type. Use 1 to enforce single-variant products, or leave blank to impose no limits.
Show the Dimensions and Weight fields
Allows you to hide the weight and dimensions fields if they are not necessary for variants belonging to products of this type.
Show the Title field for variants
Equivalent to Show the Title field for products, but for variants. When enabled, you will select a Title Translation Method. To avoid confusion, this should generally match the product’s setting. <Since product="Commerce" repo="craftcms/commerce" ver="5.1.0" feature="Variant title translation method settings" /> When disabled, you must define a Variant Title Format using an object template. Note that this template is evaluated in the context of the variant, so product attributes and custom fields must be accessed as {product.slug} (not {slug} alone). The Title field layout element will always appear in the variant field layout designer, but it will be hidden when editing a variant.
Site Settings
Like entries and other built-in element types, products provide site-specific routing settings. When a customer visits a product’s URL in a given site, Commerce renders the specified template with a special product variable. ::: tip Variants do not have their own routing mechanism; calling variant.url will return the product’s URL (for the site it was loaded in) with a variant={id} query string appended. :::
Propagation Method <Since product="Commerce" repo="craftcms/commerce" ver="5.1.0" feature="Product element propagation" />
Choose how new product and variant elements are propagated across its supported sites.

When you create a new product type, don’t forget to give your store managers the appropriate permissions!

Tax & Shipping

The second tab in a product type’s settings screen is strictly informational—it displays a list of Shipping Categories and Tax Categories (from the Store Management area) that can be selected from variants of current product type.

Product types are defined globally, but shipping and tax categories are defined per-store. If you have similarly-named categories in multiple stores, you may see them listed twice.

Product Fields

Every product type’s authoring experience can be tailored to its needs through a field layout. Consider what content belongs on a product and what belongs on a variant.

A product’s field layout must include the special Variants field layout element, which controls where the nested element management interface lives.

Variant Fields

In addition to fields associated directly with products, the product type defines what fields and options are available to their nested variants.

The fields below are described from the editor’s perspective, but may include configuration details to consider when assembling the field layout (like the default state for some fields).

Title
Hidden on the edit screen if the Variant Title Format setting is enabled on the product type.
SKU
Hidden on the edit screen if the Automatic SKU Format setting is enabled on the product type.
Price
The variant’s base price and promotional price, as well as a table showing any matching catalog pricing rules.
Stock
Enable inventory management for the variant, and quickly modify available stock or jump to a detail view for each inventory location. Open the field layout element’s Settings slideout to choose the default state for Track Inventory and Allow out of stock purchases settings for new variants. <Since product="Commerce" repo="craftcms/commerce" ver="5.4.0" feature="Control over default state of the “Track Inventory” and “Allow out of stock purchases” settings on variants" />
Available for Purchase
Prevent a variant from being added to carts. This setting is independent from the global and site-specific Status, and allows administrators to make variants discoverable prior to actually selling them. Open the field layout element’s Settings slideout to choose its default state for new variants. <Since product="Commerce" repo="craftcms/commerce" ver="5.4.0" feature="Control over default state of the “Available for Purchase” setting on variants" />
Allowed Qty
Set minimum and maximum quantities that customers can purchase. ::: warning A variant is considered “in stock” until its inventory is exhausted, without consideration of the minimum allowed quantity. If your store uses this feature, you may need to include checks in the template to prevent customer confusion: 
{% if not variant.hasStock or variant.stock < variant.minQty %}
  There is not enough inventory to satisfy the minimum order quantity.
{% endif %}
:::
Free Shipping
Controls whether shipping calculations are performed for the variant.
Promotable
Controls whether the variant is eligible to match discounts and sales. Open the field layout element’s Settings slideout to choose its default state for new variants.
Dimensions
Displays inputs for the variant’s Length, Width, and Height in the system’s Dimensions Unit.
Weight
Displays an input for the variant’s Weight in the system’s Weight Unit.

Templating

There are a ton of ways to leverage your product types and product data in templates. Keep in mind that the custom fields available to each product type may differ—but they’re accessed exactly the same way as you would with any other element type!

Displaying a Product Type

Every product has access to its product type definition via a type attribute:

  <li><a href="{{ siteUrl }}">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="{{ siteUrl('shop') }}">Shop</a></li>
  <li><a href="{{ siteUrl("shop/#{product.type.handle}") }}">{{ product.type.name }}</a></li>

This example generates a URL to an “index” for a product type—but requires that we set up a corresponding route that maps it to a template:

return [
    // ...
    'shop/<productType:{slug}>' => ['template' => '_shop/product-type'],
];

An equivalent route can by configured in the control panel, via <Journey path="Settings, Routes" />:

Configuring a route to a product type index in the Craft control panel

Listing Product Types

You can access a list of all configured product types via Commerce’s productTypes service:

{% for type in craft.commerce.productTypes.allProductTypes %}
  {{ type.handle }} - {{ type.name }}
{% endfor %}

Querying Products

Products are automatically loaded and exposed under a product variable when their URL is requested. In situations where you need to fetch one or more products based on some fixed or dynamic criteria, you will use a product query.

Product queries are a kind of element query, meaning they have a similar API to Craft’s built-in element types:

{# Create a new product query #}
{% set myProductQuery = craft.products() %}

// Create a new product query
$myProductQuery = \craft\commerce\elements\Product::find();

# Create a new product query
{
  products {
    # ...
  }
}

Once you’ve created a product query, you can set parameters on it to narrow down the results, and then execute it to return one or more Product elements.

See Element Queries in the Craft docs to learn about how element queries work.

Example

We can use Twig to display the ten most recently-added Clothing products:

  1. Create a product query with craft.products().
  2. Set the type and limit parameters on it.
  3. Fetch the products with .all().
  4. Loop through the products using a for tag to output their HTML.
{# Create a product query with the 'type' and 'limit' parameters #}
{% set newProducts = craft.products()
  .type('clothing')
  .limit(10)
  .all() %}

{# Display the products #}
{% for product in newProducts %}
  <h2>{{ product.title }}</h2>
  {{ product.summary|md }}
  <a href="{{ product.url }}">Learn more</a>
{% endfor %}

To fetch the same information with Craft’s GraphQL API, we could write a query like this:

{
  products(limit: 10, type: "clothing") {
    title
    uri
    ... on clothing_Product {
      summary
    }
  }
}

Eager-loading

Products can be eager-loaded using the handle of a relational field attached to other elements, and you can eager-load other related elements just as you would with any other element query.

You can also eager-load variants (and any elements related to or nested within them) via their products using the special variants handle:

{% set products = craft.products()
  .type('widgets')
  .with([
    ['variants.complianceStandards'],
  ])
  .all() %}

  {% for product in products %}
    <li>
      <strong>{{ product.title }}</strong>
      <span class="separator">—</span>
      Options meeting:
      {{ product.variants|map(v => v.complianceStandards)|flatten|join(', ') }}
    </li>
  {% endfor %}

# withCustomFields

Variants

Variants are purchasables, and they represent the individual items that customers will add to their carts as line items—even when a product only has a single variant. The variant is where you’ll control pricing information, tax and shipping settings, inventory, dimensions, and so on.

Commerce gives you a great deal of flexibility in designing your product catalog—but an important consideration early-on is how you want customers to discover goods in your store. Setting aside for a moment single-variant products, variants don’t get their own URLs, and are queried separately from products. Prematurely grouping items into products can make selection difficult for customers, while aggressively separating variations of a single item into products can make differentiating products more difficult for customers.

Consider these tradeoffs when building your catalog—and don’t forget that all of Craft’s content and relational tools are at your disposal, on both products and variants!

Prices

Every variant has a price and a promotional price. Both base prices are defined directly on the variant, in a store’s default currency—but the final price shown to a customer may be determined by pricing rules and currency conversion.

Prices are defined for each store a variant is available in; in the control panel, however, you will manage those differences on a per-site basis. If two sites point to the same store, you will see the same price and input currency when editing the variant in either.

Promotional Price

When provided, a promotional price takes precedence over the base price in all calculations. This is also the case after Commerce evaluates pricing rules, but only when the promotional price ends up less than the base price.

In a template, you can test whether a product has a promotional price (and it is less than its base price):

{% for variant in product.variants %}
  <label class="option">
    <input name="purchasableId" value="{{ variant.id }}" type="radio">
    <span class="label">{{ purchasable.title }}</label>
    <span class="price {{ variant.onPromotion ? 'price--has-promo' : null }}">
      <span class="price__base">{{ variant.price|commerceCurrency }}</span>

      {% if variant.onPromotion %}
        <span class="price__promotional">{{ variant.promotionalPrice|commerceCurrency }}</span>
      {% endif %}
    </span>
  </label>
{% endfor %}

Sale Price

If you only want to advertise a single price, let Commerce reconcile the base and promotional price by using variant.salePrice.

Stock

Commerce tracks inventory at the variant level, using Inventory Items that correspond to each unique SKU in the system.

Variants may define a minimum and maximum quantity that customers are allowed to add to their cart.

Minimum and maximum quantities are static. If you need to enforce dynamic quantity limits, advanced validation rules can be added to line items via a plugin or module.

Physical Properties

If the product type is configured to display dimension fields, variants can hold values for Length, Width, and Height, as well as a Weight.

Dimensions and weight are set in the system’s Dimensions Unit and Weight Unit, respectively.

Changing the dimension or weight unit after products have been created will not convert existing values!

SKUs

Each variant has a globally-unique SKU. SKUs can be defined manually, or through a dynamically-evaluated SKU format (defined by its product’s type).

Commerce tracks a single inventory item per SKU, but that SKU may have inventory at multiple locations.

Tax & Shipping Categories

When creating a variant, you will select its Tax and Shipping Category.

For a Tax Category to be selectable, it must be allowed for the product type that the variant belongs to. This is a setting on the tax category itself; tax categories are shared across stores, but the effective zones and rates are defined per-store. Variants use the same tax category in all stores.

The Shipping Category follows similar rules, but the options are defined per-store.

Each variant may also have any number of custom fields to allow other distinguishing traits.

Commerce does not automatically create every possible unique variant for you—that’s up to the store manager.

Default Variant

Every product has a default variant. The default variant is indicated by a green check-mark in the nested element index.

To change the default variant, select its row in the element index and use the Set default variant element action.

Querying Variants

The most common ways to access variants will be via their product or from a line item in a customer’s cart or order. In cases where you need to directly load one or more variants, you will use a variant query.

Variant queries are a special type of element query, and are created and executed using the same fluent API:

{# Create a new variant query #}
{% set myVariantQuery = craft.variants() %}

// Create a new variant query
$myVariantQuery = \craft\commerce\elements\Variant::find();

# Create a new variant query
{
  variants {
    # ...
  }
}

Once you’ve created a variant query, you can set parameters on it to narrow down the results, and then execute it by calling .all(). An array of Variant objects will be returned.

You can also fetch only the number of items a query might return, which is better for performance when you don’t need the variant data.

{# Count all enabled variants #}
{% set myVariantCount = craft.variants()
    .status('enabled')
    .count() %}

use craft\commerce\elements\Variant;

// Count all enabled variants
$myVariantCount = Variant::find()
    ->status(Variant::STATUS_ENABLED)
    ->count();

# Count all enabled variants
{
  variantCount(status: "enabled")
}

See Element Queries in the Craft docs to learn about how element queries work.

Example

We can display a specific variant by its SKU in Twig by doing the following:

  1. Create a variant query with craft.variants().
  2. Set the sku parameter on it.
  3. Fetch the variant with .one().
  4. Output information about the variant as HTML.
{# Get the requested variant SKU from the query string #}
{% set variantSku = craft.app.request.getQueryParam('sku') %}

{# Create a variant query with the 'SKU' parameter #}
{% set myVariantQuery = craft.variants()
    .sku(variantSku) %}

{# Fetch the variant #}
{% set variant = myVariantQuery.one() %}

{# Make sure it exists #}
{% if not variant %}
    {% exit 404 %}
{% endif %}

{# Display information about the variant #}

Fetching the equivalent with GraphQL could look like this:

# Fetch variant with a SKU of `WIDGET-BASIC`
{
  variants(sku: 'WIDGET-BASIC') {
    title
  }
}

:::

# preferSites

If unique is set, this determines which site should be selected when querying multi-site elements.

For example, if element “Foo” exists in Site A and Site B, and element “Bar” exists in Site B and Site C, and this is set to ['c', 'b', 'a'], then Foo will be returned for Site B, and Bar will be returned for Site C.

If this isn’t set, then preference goes to the current site.

::: code

{% set variants = craft.variants()
  .site('*')
  .unique()
  .preferSites(['a', 'b'])
