Update on Magento plug-in to autogenerate product catalogs with multiple variants? #25

One of my clients is a furniture company specializing in custom couches and sectionals, each of which has 70+ fabrics and 5 legs to choose from. They are using Magento and were hoping there was a way to streamline the creation of their product catalog versus creating all these variants manually. I'm wondering if there are plans to expand the current Magento plug-in to capture variants versus capturing one product to represent all variants.

Hello, thanks for writing in!

We're not currently planning to add this ourselves, but if anyone in the community would like to send us a pull request for this, we'd love to review it and include it!

Essentially this would mean supporting product_groups. It would involve adding a product group column item_group_id in the generated product feed, which can be described here : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/dynamic-product-ads/product-catalog

Then this would additionally need to be followed by syncing all simple products which are tied to a configurable product, which is not currently done but should be simple to toggle.
