Building a Product Information Manager with Strapi

1

To have a successful e-commerce strategy, you need to publish your products on different platforms like Amazon, eBay, and Shopify to make your products available in a wider market. One of the biggest challenges of this strategy is you don't have a single source of truth for your products, and when you have a high number of products, it becomes really hard to manage one product and its attributes on multiple platforms.

The product can have more than one size and color. How would you go about adding a field with multiple entries.

For example, a t-shirt size can have many sizes like: xs, s, med, lg, xl, …

Enumeration allows for one field to be picked from.

I haven’t explored this idea yet, but I was thinking of using enums too, but it might not be the best solution. This maybe I good candidate to create a custom field. Also, you can just have a relation to colors, sizes or any other options that people can choose.

The way I made this possible is using json data type. As an example, for tshirt_sizes of json type name, I or the author manually adds the following code.

tshirt_sizes

{
  "data": [
    "xs",
    "sm",
    "med",
    "lg",
    "xl"
  ]
}
