Hi, I think this behaviour (showing all the variations as products) is a bug created during a recent commit... I've alerted about that, but no one answered..
http://groups.google.com/group/satchmo-users/browse_thread/thread/71a5a45093384d6f I am curious also about difference between variations and customization products.
