Attribute Management
Attributes define the configurable properties of product variants (e.g., Color, Size). Each attribute has a set of predefined values.
Concepts
- Attribute — a configurable dimension (e.g., "Color", "Size-Clothing", "Size-Shoe")
- Attribute Value — a specific option within an attribute (e.g., "Red", "Blue", "XL")
- Variant Configuration — links a product variant to specific attribute values
Managing Attributes
Navigate to Catalog → Attributes.
Creating an Attribute
- Click New Attribute
- Enter the attribute name (e.g., "Color")
- Save the attribute
- Add attribute values
Attribute Values
Each value can have:
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Value display name | "Red" |
| Swatch | Color hex code for visual display | #FF0000 |
| Sort Order | Display order | 1, 2, 3... |
Swatch values are used by the storefront to render color pickers instead of text dropdowns.
Localization
Both attribute names and attribute value names are localizable:
- "Color" → "Renk" (Turkish)
- "Red" → "Kırmızı" (Turkish)
- "White" → "Beyaz" (Turkish)
This means variant names in the storefront automatically use localized attribute value names.
Usage in Products
When creating product variants:
- Select which attributes apply to the product (e.g., Color + Size)
- For each variant, pick values from the selected attributes
- The variant name is auto-generated from the attribute values (e.g., "Red / M")
tip
Plan your attribute structure before creating products. Changing attributes after variants exist requires updating all affected variants.
