Hi!
Long time listener, first time caller.
I’m building a site for food price-comparison and have a question about data-modeling. I’m considering using products/variants where
My main products will, for example, be Milk. It will contain all text, nutrition facts, images etc.
Under each product, I will have variants which are the same milk from different sites. Variants will contain description from every site, link to that product and of course prices (prices can differ on one site depending on where you live so expect several prices for each variant)
Different sites have of course discounts. For instance “2 for 25”, “Mix 5 for 10” or “30% off”. I think some of discounts need to be created since nop doesn’t have all OOTB.
What do you think:
Is the product/variants way to go here?
Will I run in to trouble with discount if I have to create my own.
And problems with discounts on variants?
Anyone have experience creating own discounts?
Any performance obstacles that may occur if I reach 40 000 products (each with five variants) with 1 000 - 2000 active discounts?
Thanks!
