Offer dynamic products

A dynamic product is a variation of an original product that you can use in the checkout process. When offering dynamic products, you can change a product's name, price, currency and so on, without permanently altering your original product setup, creating an additional product, or creating a promotion in Commerce Assistant (CA).

note

Dynamic products are ideal for special, one-time scenarios, such as offering a unique pricing deal to a specific customer. They are also beneficial when managing a large product catalog or frequently changing products. In these cases, you can maintain a core set of products in CA and create variations to meet your business needs.
