Function: admin_variation_get_list()

Purpose

This function is designed to retrieve a list of product variations, such as size, color, or material, which are used to define configurable product attributes. This is especially valuable in e-commerce systems for managing product customization and providing a rich shopping experience to users.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
limit	String	The number of variations to retrieve.
offset	Integer	The starting index for the variations. Useful for pagination.

Getting Specific Variation Information

Function: admin_variation_get_info()

Purpose

This function retrieves detailed information about a specific product variation, such as its configuration and option list. It is designed to support deeper insights into individual variations used in product definitions on e-commerce platforms.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
id	String	The unique identifier of the product variation.

Use Case

The admin_variation_get_info() function is used by administrators to fetch the configuration and available options of a specific product variation. This is helpful when auditing, editing, or applying variation data to products, ensuring accurate and consistent product setup across the catalog.

                Python
              
def admin_variation_get_info():
    SDKConfig.PRINT_REQUEST_DATA = True
    SDKConfig.PRINT_RAW_RESPONSE = True
    webcommander_sdk: WebCommanderSDK = WebCommanderSDK().init_sdk(request_token_dto=CommonData.get_request_token_dto())

    try:
        response = webcommander_sdk.admin_variation.info(id="id")
        print(response)
    except WCException as ab:
        print(ab)
        print(ab.get_errors())
        print(ab.raw_response)

                Python
              
VariationInfoDTO(
    variation=VariationDataDTO(
        id="VARIATION_ID",
        name="VARIATION_NAME",
        standard="VARIATION_STANDARD",
        isDisposable="VARIATION_IS_DISPOSABLE",

Creating Variation

Function: admin_variation_create()

Purpose

This function empowers administrators and developers to programmatically create new product variations within an e-commerce catalog. These variations may include options such as size, color, material, or any other differentiating attribute required to present multiple configurations of a product. It is a vital part of the backend management system that streamlines inventory, enhances user experience, and supports scalable merchandising strategies. The function facilitates seamless integration of new product dimensions, reducing manual setup time and maintaining consistency across the platform.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
name	String	The name of the variation.
standard	String	The format type such as "text", "image", or "color".
isDisposable	Boolean	Flag indicating whether the variation is temporary or reusable.
options	List	A list of `VariationOptionDTO` items representing the selectable choices for the variation.

Each VariationOptionDTO includes:

Field	Type	Description
id	Integer	Unique identifier for the option.
label	String	The display name shown to customers.
value	String	The value associated with the option.
order	Integer	Sorting order of the option.
default	Boolean	Indicates if this option is the default selection.

Use Case

The admin_variation_create() function is highly applicable in scenarios where a business needs to introduce product variations for enhanced customer selection. For example, when a new product is added to the catalog and requires options such as sizes (Small, Medium, Large) or colors (Red, Blue, Green), this function enables backend users to define those options with precision. Automating this process ensures that variations are accurately tied to product attributes and helps maintain a uniform structure across the catalog. By using this function, platforms can speed up their product onboarding process, ensure data integrity, and enhance the customer’s buying journey.

This function allows administrators to modify an existing variation for a product by updating its attributes, such as its name, structure (standard), and available options. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the flexibility of an evolving catalog, allowing updates as product offerings change. Whether renaming a variation, rearranging its options, or changing the default selection, this function helps in managing product diversity efficiently and ensures up-to-date information is reflected across the platform.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
name	String	The updated name of the variation.
standard	String	The updated format type.
isDisposable	Boolean	Updated flag indicating whether the variation is temporary or reusable.
options	List	A list of `VariationOptionDTO` items representing the updated selectable choices.

Each VariationOptionDTO includes:

Field	Type	Description
id	Integer	Unique identifier for the option.
label	String	The display name shown to customers.
value	String	The updated value or reference for the option.
order	Integer	Updated sorting order of the option.
default	Boolean	Indicates if this option is now the default selection.
