Hello - I'm trying to figure out how to set a price based on 2 other columns. One column is Product Type (Socks) and the other would be Variant (single or 3-pack). So for example if Product Type is Socks and Variant is Single, the Price should be $3; if the variant is 3-pack, the price would be $8.
Both Product Type and Variant are single select values, and I could potentially make the Price a single field as well.
I also thought of combining Product Type and Variant into one column (Socs - Single, Socks - 3-pack, etc) and do Link Records instead, but I would like to eventually sort by Product Type alone (all socks, for example).
Does anyone have any experience in this for inventory tracking? Thanks!

Wouldn't it be better if each variant is a different product? then you assign a different price to each one. This also allows you to sort, filter and group by both criteria.
You can then use it in a sales table that reads these products.
Finally, if you want the product name to look like "socks - 3 pack" you can change the main column to concatenate both words from the pick lists.

Yeah, I think in the end I'll have to do each variant as a different product and link them. I was reluctant because some products have 4 variants, and because it might be easier to transfer to the Shopify format eventually, but it might be the only way instead of manually entering prices.
