Attributes in Admin

Product Attributes are features that will be compared side by side by the customer when deciding on which item to choose using Product Comparison.

The attributes section lets you edit the attributes compared between products in “Product Comparison”. When viewing products in the store front, customers have the option to add products to “Add to Compare” to analyze the similarities and differences between products in the store. Attributes can be used to describe the size, weight, color, and any other specifications of the product that have potential for comparison.

Attribute Groups

  1. Click Store  then Attributes then Attribute Groups and click the + Insert button to add a new attribute group.
  2. This form only requires an attribute group name in “Attribute Group Name”. Adding the “Sort Order” is optional. Adding a sort order will affect the arrangement order of attributes under Product Comparison. The attribute groups created here can have individual attributes added to them later.

Creating Attributes

  2. Define Attribute Name. Select Attribute Group we have just created from the drop-down menu and define Sort Order.
