Hi Rafael,

We've discussed product variations in the past (you may want to search the
mailing list archives). Another version of the user story would be to have
variations by size (maybe XL is +$2).

Here's a couple ideas (I'm not a developer, but just getpaid-thinking out
loud):

1. New marker interface for "Make Product Set" (or similar), where if you
chose this as a buyable method, you would be able to set N number of
variations (color, size, etc) and have prices associated with each. On the
buyable config page for a product you might see:

Variation 1: Color
[Blue ] [+1]
[Yellow] [ ]
[White] [ ]
(where blue costs more and the rest are the same.

Variation 2: Size
[S] [ ]
[M] [ ]
[L] [ ]
[XL] [+2]

2. Develop an archetype (or other content type) with this behavior and have
it map to getpaid settings.


3. formgen integration (as you mentioned)

4. Multiple products (as you mentioned). Could be perhaps a buyable
folder-ish object with the variations inside?

Some things to keep in mind are:
= however you take the information, you want it to be apparent on the order
management screens (ie this is important for fulfillment!)
= for some types of vairations (ie color), it might be nice to have an
optional photo to go with the variation (this might point more to the
archetype-esque route...?)

Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Chris
