Product variants or categories

Using my Dolibarr
1

Dear All,

Just need to restart setting up Dolibarr. I have installed the latest version 8.0.4

When setting up the products, I have an issue. The Variants and Tag/Categories, which one should I use?

Products I am using have some simple attributes, such as color, material; each product can have only one selection for each of the attributes.
I also found out from somewhere that, Variants is used for some products with physical difference, such as Shirts have various sizes and products with different sizes are sold separately.

So in my case, should I use tags/categories to clarify their attributes?

Many thanks!

I’d rather recommend using Extrafields in Setup -> Module Products. Tags/Categories become unhandy once you start to use them in a hierarchical way.
