Product Attributes

Overview

Product attributes define the characteristics that differentiate Product variations. For example, a "T-Shirt" product might have attributes for "Size" and "Color", with each combination creating a product variation.

Model: VentureDrake\LaravelCrm\Models\ProductVariation Table: {prefix}product_variations (default: crm_product_variations)

Product Variations

Product variations represent specific versions of a product with different attribute values. Each variation can have its own pricing.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Description
`name`	`string`	Variation name
`description`	`text`	Description
`product_id`	`integer`	Parent product

Relationships

Method	Type	Related Model	Description
`product()`	`belongsTo`	`Product`	Parent product
`productPrices()`	`hasMany`	`ProductPrice`	Prices for this variation

Usage

// Create a product variation
$variation = $product->productVariations()->create([
    'name' => 'Large / Red',
    'description' => 'Large size, red colour',
]);

// Add pricing
$variation->productPrices()->create([
    'unit_price' => 2500, // in cents
    'currency' => 'USD',
]);

Permissions

The product-attributes routes are gated by ProductAttributePolicy, which maps onto the create / view / edit / delete crm product attributes permissions.

Note: These routes returned 403 for every user, Owner included, before 2.4.0. The route parameter was named {productCategory} while the can: guard read productAttribute, so the gate was handed null and resolved no policy — and ProductAttributePolicy existed but was never registered, so the check fell through to deny anyway. Both are fixed. Neither Manager nor Employee holds crm product attributes under the stock roles; see Roles.
