Not a very straight­for­ward ini­tial setup. 

For exam­ple, the default Prod­uct List doesn’t even show the price until you add Product Variation as a Relationship.

But where Dru­pal shines is being able to cre­ate a cus­tom List­ings Sta­tus screen. Not sure how such a screen would be cre­at­ed in Craft CMS.
