Squarespace Commerce Variant Integrity Audit
A practical check for size, color, material, SKU, price, image, URL, and availability relationships.
Model each purchasable combination
Treat a variant as a real purchasable record with its own attributes, identifier, offer, image, and stock state. A color or size label alone is not sufficient.
Test the published storefront after template, extension, and custom-code changes because the customer-visible offer is the source that must remain consistent.
Look for silent parent-child mismatches
Check whether the selected option changes the structured offer, visible price, image, SKU, availability, and URL state. Common defects expose parent data after the shopper selects a child variant.
Verify reproducible selection
Where practical, ensure the chosen variant can be revisited through a stable URL or deterministic state. Test browser refresh, link sharing, and direct entry.
Sample edge cases
Include unavailable combinations, price-changing options, duplicate labels, missing images, and variants introduced by a recent import. Keep a known-good fixture for release testing.
