Has anyone had any experience with huge number of variants? How it works in shopware? Products (example furniture) have a lot of possible variants…

Hello, do you have an example for a high amount of variants? It takes a long time and many server resources to generate 64.000 variants or more. So you should consider using a different way to implement a product with a high amount of variants. There are some plugins in our store that can be used in that case, e.g. „Custom Products“: [http://store.shopware.com/en/swag00498/custom-products.html](http://store.shopware.com/en/swag00498/custom-products.html) With this plugin you only need one article that uses many customizable options.

Hello, You can test this plugin 30 days for free to make sure it fits your requirements. It is possible to define surcharges for every option. So it is possible that you have a base price for the product (e.g. 100€) and surcharges for every option. But it is also possible that some of the options do not have any surcharges. Moritz

Moritz[/quote] I’m testing this plugin (CustomProducts) and I don’t know how to connect articles and groups… this is crazy… documentation for plugin should be required !!!

Thank you very much. Is there any place with sitemap for all tutorials and links with shopware knowledge, because sometimes is difficult to find something?
