Linking Product Clusters

Overview

You have the option to link a product to existing variants. You would use this feature if you wanted to create a new product with a new name but tie to the same inventory as an already existing product on the site. 

Example: You want to sell one flavor of water, but use two different product names to see if one sells better depending on the name it is given. You'd create the 2nd product and use "Link to Existing Variants" so the products pulled from the same inventory at the warehouse.
