Do you know how to create a variation for food with different weights?

The system will not allow me to have two products with different unit counts. It says the value conflicts with the catalog.

Any suggestions?

I did this but I am getting this error The SKU data provided is different from what’s already in the Amazon catalog. The standard_product_id data provided matches ASIN B0CHZ92YL6, but the following data is different from what’s already in the Amazon catalog: size (Merchant: ‘1.00 Ounce (Pack of 1)’ / Amazon: ‘15 Servings’). If this is the right ASIN for your product, update your data to match what’s in the Amazon catalog. If it’s not the right ASIN, make sure that your data for standard_product_id is correct.

When creating a variation for food with different weights, you can try using the “size” attribute instead of the “unit count” attribute. This way, you can differentiate the variations based on the weight of the food. Make sure to provide accurate and specific information for each variation.

So I should use unit count “1” and unit “count” and put the size in somewhere else? I can’t find another place to put size/weight.

I’m concerned about the cost per once not being calculated in the weight isn’t entered.

If you’re unable to find a specific field for size/weight, you can include that information in the variation title, bullet points, or product description. This way, customers will still be able to see and understand the different weights of the food variations.

Hope that clarifies things!

Before doing this, you should ensure that each variation is treated as a distinct product with unique attributes, such as weight or size. This can be done by assigning different unit counts for each variation, ensuring they don’t conflict with the catalog system. If you’re working with a menu like the Jack in the Box shakes menu, for example, you might offer different sizes or serving options as separate products with their own weight attributes to avoid conflicts. Make sure each variation is clearly differentiated and follows the catalog’s guidelines.

Great point! It’s important to treat each variation as a separate product with its own unique details, like size or weight. That way, you avoid any issues with the catalog system. Using a menu like the Jack in the Box shakes menu as an example, separating the different sizes or options will help keep things organized. Just make sure everything is clearly labeled and follows the catalog’s rules! If you’re looking for a quick coffee break, check out the starbucks coffee menu for some delicious drink ideas!

You can create variations for food with different weights by using product attributes or options instead of separate products. Many e-commerce platforms allow you to set up one main product and add variations (e.g., 500g, 1kg) under it. If the system does not allow different unit counts, try using a dropdown or selection menu for weight options instead of separate listings. Check if your platform supports SKU variations, as some require unique SKUs for each variation. If needed, contact support to see if there’s a way to override the catalog restriction.
