# Product attributes

Product attributes are used to create variants of a single product, for example by size, colour or other properties. Thanks to attributes you can offer several specific variants from one product without having to create separate products.

## **Module location**

**Management > Settings > Store > Product attributes**

## **Attribute overview**

The main screen shows a list of all created attributes. For each attribute you see:

-   the attribute name,
    
-   the public name (shown in the store),
    
-   the attribute type,
    
-   the number of products that use the attribute.
    

The attribute list allows:

-   searching by name,
    
-   working with actions for an individual attribute:
    
    -   **Edit** – opens the form for editing the data,
        
    -   **Change history** – shows an overview of the changes made
        
        -   when the attribute was created,
            
        -   who made the changes and when,
            
        -   what changes were made.
            
    -   **Archive** – hides the attribute from the active list,
        
    -   **Delete** – permanently removes the attribute.
        

## **Creating and editing an attribute**

You create a new attribute by clicking the **Add new record** or**+** button in the top right.

When creating or editing an attribute you set:

-   **Name** – the internal attribute name used in Management (e.g. “T-shirt size”, “T-shirt colour”).
    
-   **Public name –** the attribute name shown to users in the store (e.g. “Size”, “Colour”).
    
-   **Attribute type** – determines how the attribute values are handled:
    
    -   **Selection from values** – the attribute has a predefined list of values (e.g. S, M, L, XL),
        
    -   **Colour** – the attribute values represent colours.
        

## **Attribute values**

-   After creating the attribute you click its name and the value settings are available.
    
-   Each attribute can contain any number of values.
    
-   Attribute values are used to create specific product variants.
    
-   For example, the attribute “Size” can contain the values S, M, L, XL. For the “Colour” attribute type you can choose from a colour palette + enter the colour name (e.g. green, red).
    

## **Using attributes for products**

Attributes are assigned directly to specific products.

Based on the selected attributes and their values, the system automatically creates product variants, which are then used for:

-   selecting the variant in the store,
    
-   setting the price,
    
-   managing stock,
    
-   the availability of individual variants.
    

The attribute itself **does not contain a price or stock** – this information is set only at the level of the specific product variant.

## **Permissions and access**

Managing product attributes requires permission for the modules:

-   **Store**
    
-   **Settings** (depending on the user’s role in the organization)
    

Only users with the corresponding permissions can create, edit or delete attributes.
