Hi folks --
One of my clients wants to set up some products in a somewhat non-standard way. Example: a particular product, such as a shirt, may be available in five sizes and five colors, but not in all 25 possible combinations. Some colors are only available in four sizes, or three. We'd like to get this set up so that the Attribute Machine will work properly as people select different combinations on the product page. Should I do this by auto-generating all 25 variants, and then deleting the ones that we don't need? Or is it better to leave the variants in place, but keep the inventory counts at zero for the unavailable ones, so that they're always out of stock? (Or some other approach?)
And here's a really odd one: one color, black in this case, has NO sizes; it's effectively "One Size Fits All." Can the store even do that? I suppose I can just treat "no size" like another Size, and create a new option on the attribute for it; and then disable it for the other colors by whatever solution works for the first example. Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks --
