I am building a shop with several types of custom cushions available. Each product (cushion shape) will have different options therefore i am using custom line items.

The issue is that to me it seems i need to create just as many different content types (product display) in order to reference the custom line item in the add to cart form of the Display?

There must be better way to do this?

Unfortunately there's not, you need a content type to match every line item type if you're dealing with different attribute fields. That was the original intention of Commerce custom product but it's at the point of providing different product types, but the feature hasn't been developed yet.

  • I'd go for commerce custom product and then figure out if you need different node types or not based in whether is easier to maintain some form alters that hide the options or different types. You could also expose things to taxonomies and other entities and use the Entity Reference (drupal.org/project/entityreference) plugin system to hide options based in views or other code. It really depends on your use case.
