Products without Variants

[mtclmn]

Is there currently a way to post products that don't have Variants? Looks like it's the default (and required) method for posting, however, I can see many shops not needing this functionality.

It seems a bit odd for a user to have to see the "Options/Variations" section if there's only 1 variant.

Perhaps variant fields could be not required, and only show on the front-end if an admin has filled them out?

A product with only one variant is "single product". This is really a UI issue, with which I mostly agree. However - you can add a single product / single variant to the cart - the current interaction isn't the same as when there are multiple variants, or with options. There are a few other things (such as the Tags and Details labels, displaying when there is not any data), that are minor UI issues that need updating as well.

+1 for this simple option. I suppose it should be by default and products variants could be possible to switch on in dashboard

Goal: remove all variants, all add to cart with no variants, pricing editing (variant details) for the top level product. Resolve issues with deleting all variants.

With the massive amount of changes to the PDP being pushed with #1178 (over 100 files related to the PDP), we are holding off diving into this ticket until #1178 is pulled into development and we can work off of those changes.
