Understanding the Product Set Creation Wizard

What is a Product Set?

A Product Set in Venditan Commerce is a master product that has multiple variants. It uses our Master, Member, Stock structure to keep everything organised.

For example, a T-shirt that comes in 10 colours and 8 sizes would typically require 80 separate entries if created manually.

The Product Set groups these together so they can be managed as one.

Without a dedicated process, creating and maintaining these sets means entering the same data repeatedly, either straight into the platform or CSV for bulk upload. This increases the risk of inconsistencies and slows down the product launch.

For retailers managing large or seasonal collections, it creates unnecessary admin work. 

Product Sets make it easy to set up and maintain variations accurately, freeing up more time for activities that drive sales.

What is the Product Set Creation Wizard?

The Product Set Creation Wizard is a guided process for building Product Sets in Venditan Commerce.

Instead of filling in a single long form, the Wizard breaks the task into manageable sections and prompts for the right information at each step.

This structured approach speeds up creation, reduces human error, and ensures no key detail is missed.

Because it is built directly into the platform, there is no need to switch between systems or spreadsheets. For retailers handling large numbers of SKUs, the time saved can be significant, allowing teams to focus on merchandising, marketing, and selling.

Curated steps for each client

When the Wizard is enabled for a client on Venditan Commerce, we configure it to match the needs of their specific product range.

While there are standard steps such as adding Product Titles, assigning Categories, and linking Sizes, some businesses require additional ones.

These could include fields for compliance information, brand-specific attributes, or specialist technical details.

Each step and field is tailored to the business so there is no generic, one-size-fits-all process. This flexibility is a key advantage of working with an eCommerce platform provider that understands both the technical requirements and the operational realities of retail.

Maximising data reuse

Key product data points are saved and managed within Venditan Commerce for ongoing reuse.

Information such as Colours, Sizing Scales, and Size Guides can be stored centrally, ready to be applied whenever a new Product Set is created. This avoids the need to re-enter the same details over and over again, which not only speeds up the process but also ensures consistency across the range.

By reusing data in this way, clients can maintain brand standards, reduce the risk of discrepancies, and bring new products to market faster.

It also makes it easier for different team members to work on product creation without introducing errors or mismatches. If you’re managing hundreds or thousands of SKUs, these efficiencies quickly add up to significant time savings.

Review and validation stage

Before a Product Set created in Venditan Commerce is published to its selected Sales Channels such as your website or marketplaces, the Creation Wizard takes you through a review stage.

At this point, the system checks the entered data against predefined qualification logic. This can include ensuring that mandatory fields are complete, verifying SKU formats, confirming variant combinations, and checking that linked assets such as images or size guides are in place.

This stage is designed to catch potential issues before customers ever see the product. By enforcing validation rules, it helps retailers avoid incomplete listings, data mismatches, and the operational cost of post-publication fixes.
