What is an attribute?
Attributes are options within a said product, for example, colour, size or material.
1. Click on Products
To begin with, click on the Products tab on the left side menu.
2. Go to Attributes
Then, click on the Attributes tab.
3. The attributes page
Welcome to the attributes page. Right now, we haven’t added any attributes and therefore there are no items on the right side of the page.
4. Adding a new attribute
To add a new attribute, simply fill in the fields on the left side. First one is the name field. Use it to input the desired name for your attribute
4.1 The slug
The slug is used as a reference, we suggest simply using the name all in lowercase letters and hyphens instead of spaces.
4.2 Default sort order
The sort order is the way you want to sort the terms ( more on the terms in a few slides ). This includes custom, which gives you the ability to choose the order, or one of the default ones such as name and term ID.
4.3 Click on Add attribute
5. Click on Configure Terms
The terms are the different options within the attribute. For example, in a “Size” attribute, the typical terms are “Small”, “Medium” and “Large”. Of course you have full control of the attributes and their terms and therefore you can add whatever terms you desire.
5.1 Add new term
To add terms, simply start filling in the fields on the left. Firstly, let’s begin with the term name. For the “Size” attribute, one suitable name would be “small”.
