Configurable products allow users to create custom order lines that are not linked to any predefined product in the catalog. These order lines are fully flexible and can be customized with a name, price, description, and other attributes. They are ideal for handling special requests, product modifications, or services that aren’t listed in the catalog.

Now
You can create configurable products directly through the UI.
