Overview
Product attributes allow you to store additional characteristics for products beyond standard fields like category or VAT group. Examples include Color, Size or ISBN. Attributes can be used for filtering, search and labelling. The Product Attributes page lists existing attributes and provides a form to add new ones【875443109117498†screenshot】.
