Product configurator

Some products aren't a single SKU, they're configurable. A buyer picks options (a size, a material) and sometimes adds modifiers (an engraving, an add-on, a date). The configurator is how Dynition represents those choices on a line item.

Options vs. modifiers

  • Variant options select which product variant a line is, for example a size or finish. They resolve the line to a specific SKU.
  • Modifiers capture additional input on top of the variant. Depending on how a product is set up, a modifier can be text (single or multi-line), a number, a date, a checkbox, a choice (a dropdown, radio buttons, or a colour or image swatch), or a file upload. Some modifiers affect price.

Together they let one catalog product cover many real-world configurations.

On a purchase order

When a PO line references a configurable product, Dynition resolves the variant from the options and records any modifier values alongside it. If a configuration is ambiguous, the line is flagged for review.

Configurable products still live in your catalog. The configurator is how their options and modifiers are applied per line.
