Attributes allow customers to shop by colour, size, price, and any other product feature you choose. Attributes form product variants and also control the searchable attribute filters.

Attributes are like tags that tell a product or page what it contains. For example, a pair of shoes may be brown and available in sizes 5 and 6. The product should show up if a customer selects brown, size 5 or size 6 or any combination of the above. 

Information pages can also be tagged with an attribute such as a subject area to help people find information quickly on your website.

Attributes function on a few levels:

  • Auto-generated Attributes: These are created by the system e.g. Brand, Category, Price.
  • Product Variants: These are created by you using your Master Attribute list.
  • Page Attributes: Again, these are created from your Master Attribute list and are useful for tagging blog posts or information pages.
  • Searchable Attributes: For helping your users find your items quickly.
