Best Practices
Create attributes before adding products. It’s easier to set up your attribute structure first and then assign them to products.
- Be consistent - Use the same attribute names across similar products
- Keep it simple - Only create attributes that help customers make decisions
- Use clear names - Attribute names should be instantly understandable
- Order logically - Arrange values in a logical order (S, M, L, not M, S, L)
For developer details, see the Attributes documentation.
