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 the Commerce Assistant.
Note
It is best to use dynamic products for special, one-time use, such as one special pricing deal with a specific customer
An individual or business purchasing your product or service by placing an order through Cleverbridge. The customer is the end user of this product, as they are not allowed to resell the purchased products or services.
A customer is unique per client. If a customer purchases products or services from two different clients, there are 2 separate records of said customer.. Dynamic products can also be useful when you have several products in your catalog or when your products change frequently. In such circumstances, you can maintain a core group of products in the Commerce Assistant and create variations of those products to suit your business needs.
