A classification is a grouping of like inventory items that have similar descriptive attributes. For example, if you sell cameras you may have a classification such as "Digital Cameras". Each of the items in this classification is a digital camera, but they may all have different values for attributes like Megapixels, Optical Zoom, and Lens options. A classification also allows you to configure shipping options and even related upsell items for checkout, to a large group of inventory items at one time.
