In Magento, each variant of a configurable product exists as a separate <strong>simple product<\/strong>, and Magento counts these child products together with their parent configurable product in the Admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if one configurable product has three variants, Magento may count it as four products:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 configurable parent product<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 simple child products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The storefront may display only the parent product, while <strong>Catalog &gt; Products<\/strong> shows both the parent and its child products. As a result, the product total in Magento can appear higher than on your Source Store even when we have migrated the catalog correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, when migrating from Magento to another platform, the total may decrease if that platform counts a parent product and all its variants as a single product. We recommend comparing parent products and variants separately when checking the migration results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In case you have any other questions, please email us at\u00a0<strong>litextension@support.litextension.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":20,"menu_order":23,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"doc_tag":[1270,3915],"class_list":["post-4212","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry","doc_tag-magento-migration","doc_tag-products-migration"],"comment_count":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/4212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/docs"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4212"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/4212\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7904,"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/4212\/revisions\/7904"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/20"}],"next":[{"title":"How to fix the \u201cSQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry\u201d error in Magento?","link":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/docs\/shopping-cart-questions\/magento-1-2\/sqlstate23000-integrity-constraint-violation-1062-duplicate-entry\/","href":"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/4214"}],"prev":[{"title":"After migration to Magento my Lifetime sales and average order sum has been different.
