Creation of Product Attributes
Use attributes to define what information your products must contain (e.g. SKU, descriptions, images) and how they will appear on sales channels.
To manage the product data model you must be an Administrator or have the "Can manage product data modeling" permission
Create your first attribute
Go to Platform Settings → Products → Attributes and click New Attribute.
Choose the Type (consult the type table at the bottom if you have doubts).
Enter the Code: it must be unique, without spaces and max 50 characters.
Activate Localizable Value only if the data changes based on the language (e.g. the description, not the SKU).
Select the belonging Attribute Group.
Click Create Attribute.
Recommended Configuration
If you are starting from scratch, create these 4 standard attributes right away:
SKU (Type: Identifier)
Product Name (Type: Short Text - Localized)
Description (Type: Long Text - Localized)
Main Image (Type: Media Gallery)
Manage options (Simple/Multi Select)
If you have chosen a single or multiple choice attribute, add the options that will be made available in the product sheet.
Tip
Quick entry: Click Bulk add options and paste your list separated by commas or line breaks.
Limits: You can upload up to 100 options at a time. The system automatically discards duplicates.
Maintenance and Modifications
You can change the Labels, the Group and the Guidelines at any time.
Warning: You cannot modify the Code, Type and the Localized flag after saving. If you made a mistake, you must delete the attribute and recreate it.
