What is an offer?
Whenever a product or a variation is created on your Seller Portal, they are automatically sent to the Marketplace. However, it does not mean that this product is ready to be displayed in the marketplace window and sold. You need to set price and stock conditions for it to become available for sale.
Offer is the name we give to a product or a seller variation sent to the marketplace and that had its price and inventory configured. When you set price and inventory conditions, you make your product or variation ready to become an offer.
What is the difference between an Offer and a Variation?
Variations are your store items, which are added to your catalog, but are not available yet in the marketplace window. When a product, or variation, is created in your Seller Portal, it is automatically sent to the marketplace. However, it will only be an offer when price and stock conditions are set.
Offers are your store products that had their price and inventory already configured and sent to the marketplace.
In the illustration we can see a series of offers from a seller in a marketplace window with the product variations.
