Add or Edit Attributes for a Product

Each product can have several attributes such as color, style, etc. Attributes can affect the price of a product. If attributes have been entered for the product, they will appear on the Attributes tab for that product only and are grouped by category. Modify or add product attributes and categories using the Attributes tab. When the order is fulfilled, the attribute is used to select the correct variation of the product.

Creating new attributes.
  1. Open the Product Manager window.
  2. Select your product from the list and go to the Attributes tab, and click Add. If no attributes exist for the product, the Attributes tab will be empty as shown below.

  3. After the Add Attribute window appears, fill in the "Attribute Category" field with a category for your attributes such as "Color." Then fill in the "Attributes in Category" field with an attribute that belongs in the category such as "Red."

  4. Use the "Price Variance Type" radio buttons to increase or decrease the base price of the product if a customer chooses it with the attribute. If there is an increase or a decrease, input this amount in the "Price from Base" field just below.
  5. Now click Add Attribute. The attribute will be displayed below the Add Attribute button with any price variance.
  6. Repeat as needed to add more attributes to a category.
  7. Click Finish when all attributes have been added. Click Yes in the next window to save the attribute.
