VariationSummary Response Group

Description

The VariationSummary response group provides the lowest price, highest price, lowest sale price, and highest sale price for all child ASINs in the response.

Parent ASINs do not have offers; their children do. For example, you cannot buy a shirt (the parent ASIN). You can, however, buy a shirt that is a certain color and size and is made by a specific manufacturer (the child ASIN).
