Managing Product Attributes

Attributes are things about your product like its color, materials, clothing size, and more.

There are two types of attributes:

  • Site-Wide Attributes: These are ones that can appear in your site search, and tend to repeat for different products. You create these through Products -> Attributes, once created you can add them to products and select existing values, or add new values.
  • Custom Attributes: These are added specifically to single products with the Add New button on the Attributes tab.

The site-wide attributes are found in Products -> Attributes:

The add new attribute form. Enable Archives allows you to create a link to browse the products with a given attribute.
The site-wide attributes list, showing available options like naming, ordering, and adding new values (terms).
