In KIBO’s platform, the core product concepts are defined by a structured taxonomy. This begins with Product Types, which include Standard, which is a single item; Configurable, an item with options; Bundled, which are multiple products sold together; a Bundle Component, which is a sub-product within a bundle; and Collections, which are a group of complementary or related ‘member products’ that can be marketed as one, even across categories. Products are then detailed with Attributes, which can be options that create unique variants, for example, size and color on a shirt, or extras that are add-ons, like a monogram. A Variant is a specific combination of options; for instance, a shirt with three sizes and four colors results in twelve unique variants. Bundles can be either Fixed, where all sub-products are included; or Configurable, where buyers can choose from a set of options. The entire structure is established by first defining the product type, then its attributes, then the products, and finally, attaching the products to a catalog to make them available for sale.
