How inheritance works

Variant inheritance allows child products to automatically reuse product data from their parent or grandparent products.
This helps you enrich product variants faster, with less manual input, and ensures consistency across your catalog.

If a value is set at a higher level (e.g. the grandparent), it will be inherited by lower levels (e.g. parent and child), unless you manually override it.

When a field is inherited:

It appears with a dashed purple outline and a small inheritance icon.
You can click and override the value at any time.
Once overridden, the field shows a solid purple indicator, meaning it’s now customized at this level.

If you clear a customized value:

A confirmation message will appear.
Once confirmed, the field reverts to the inherited value (if available).

Translations and inheritance

Translations are inherited only if the default field is filled.

You cannot edit a translation on a child unless you've first overridden the default value.

If no default is set, translations are not inherited at all.

Specification Group inheritance

Specification groups can also be inherited from higher variant levels:

Inherited groups appear with a gray container.
These containers cannot be edited or removed at the child or parent level (but you can add additional Specification Groups at the parent and child level).
Any updates must be done at the level where the group is originally defined (typically the grandparent).

Product variant inheritance

Inheritance lets your product variants automatically get values from their ancestor, so you don’t have to fill in the same information over and over.
