Sizes and variants
Selling the same bake by the single and by the dozen, and how one capacity pool covers both.
A variant is a size of the same product — a single cookie, a half dozen, a dozen. Each variant has its own price and its own unit count, which is how many of the underlying thing it represents.
They share one pool
Capacity is counted in units, so all the sizes of a product draw from the same number. If you can bake 100 cookies, that is eight dozen and four singles, or a hundred singles, or any mix in between. You set one number and Bakeable does the arithmetic.
This is also why the storefront sometimes offers fewer of a large size than you expect. With eleven cookies left, no dozen is available — eleven cookies do not make a dozen — but eleven singles still are.
Products without variants have a unit count of one, so nothing about this changes anything for a plain product.
Unit labels
Setting a unit label — "cookies", "loaves", "jars" — lets the capacity controls read as "100 cookies" instead of a bare 100. Worth thirty seconds when you have more than one product measured differently.
