Feature Request: Allow each variation to have their own checkout link (or a shortcut)

Since I can't sort or filter by variations of a product ...

It would be great if Square could treat variations of your inventory items for what they are - which is a unique product. They already have their own prices, and SKU's. But not their own *checkout link*.

If each variation had it's own unique checkout link I could do my own queries and direct links to my products by size (variation)!

Alternatively, if Square could allow a checkout link to be proceeded by a SKU in the URL - that would also work (ie https://checkout.square.site/buy/STRINGOFSTUFF#SKU101)

Agree that this would be awesome. I sell fine art prints in various sizes at a few different satellite retail locations where I get paid directly (currently through venmo). Square is pretty appealing but it just doesn't quite have the feature set for me to switch over yet. The checkout link feature is basically useless to me until it allows me to link to a specific variation (i.e. a specific print size, framed or unframed, etc.). Otherwise customers who use the link would be confronted with a choice to select any size / configuration for the item when really they are trying to purchase one specific configuration (variation) and what they need is a purchase button with a specific price indicated.

Was there ever any movement on this feature? My company is selling tickets on square, and the ability to link directly to the variation for a specific performance would be a big help.
