Taobao’s “single product” is generally a single item, different from a set meal.

A single product is a commodity, and any commodity can be called a single product when it is mentioned alone. A single product refers to a type of commodity that contains specific natural and social attributes.

For a commodity, it can be called a single product only when its brand, model, configuration, grade, color, packaging capacity, unit, production date, shelf life, use, price, origin and other attributes are different from other commodities. Therefore, the concept of single product is different from the concept of “variety” in the traditional sense. The concept of single product can distinguish the different attributes of different commodities, thereby providing great convenience for commodity procurement, sales, logistics management, financial management, and the development of POS and MIS systems.
