A Parent-Child data model is a structured way of representing products with variations.
For example, a shirt available in sizes S, M, and L, and in colors Blue or Black.
- The Parent is the base product.
- The Children are the specific variants.
- All children share the same Parent SKU.
- Each variant has its own attributes, such as Size = M or Color = Blue.
Most marketplaces require this structure so that all variations appear together under a single product listing.
