Product attributes

Product attributes can be used to define the distinctive characteristics of a product, such as color, size, etc. Depending on the type of your product you can add various attributes to it that help in defining all the specifications of the given product. For example, if we have a shirt as a product, we can define its attributes as; size,color, material etc.

Product attributes can be visible on the Category as well as the Product page.
