Installed Commerce, then later Commerce Backoffice... something broke

I started out installing Commerce and creating two simple products and nothing more.

Then I realised I needed Commerce Backoffice to make things simpler so I installed that.

I then created a Product Display content type and a product display with a reference to one of my products.

Now, in the product display the title of the product does not show after the product label.

The two products I created are missing from the admin/commerce/products page and the product display is listed here now instead.

On admin/commerce/products I am getting the following error:

I am pretty confused with getting started with Commerce and just when I think I've got it down and can start making progress, I seem to have broken it.

I just want to set up two products and add a couple of products on a page with add to cart buttons.

Thanks.

I am mostly perplexed by the way the two products I created before installing backoffice are now replaced by the product display I created afterwards. I thought that products and product displays were kept separate.

I disabled the Commerce Backoffice modules which caused my products to be listed again at admin/commerce/products. I deleted them and re-enabled the Commerce Backoffice modules.

For some reason my product display content has also been deleted.

At admin/commerce/products I can click on "add product" and I get the option on a page to create a "product display". The help text here says: "Use product displays to present an Add to Cart form for products to your customers." As I understand it, product displays are not products, they are nodes used to display products. So why does the option to create a product display appear when I click a button to add a product? Why are product displays even being listed at admin/commerce/products? And where do I actually now create a product if I am using Commerce Backoffice?

This is all very confusing.
