Enabling “Add parents to variants”

This option creates a separate Parent row for products that have associated variants.

Why marketplaces require this

Some marketplaces demand the Parent row because:

• It defines the Parent SKU
• It groups all variants under a single product
• It ensures correct product listing hierarchy

What the connector generates after enabling this

For a product with 3 variants, the output becomes:

• Parent row:
  • SKU: SHIRT-001
  • Type: Parent
  • No variant attributes
• Child rows:
  • SHIRT-001-BL-M (Child)
  • SHIRT-001-BL-L (Child)
  • SHIRT-001-RD-M (Child)

Important notes

• Parent rows contain no values for variant-only fields (size, color, etc.)
• Parent rows are not repeated for standalone products
• Formulas like IS_FUSION_VARIANT_PARENT() work only when this parameter is active
