The first thing customers do is monitor and filter the price, size, colours, categories and other item’s properties. So, in this tutorial, we will consider the main steps to set up the Attributes.
Each product you’re planning to sell should be listed as a WooCommerce product.
Firstly, navigate WooCommerce -> Products -> Add New product or edit already created one. After you created the product page, it’s time to set the attributes for this product.
Create the attributes
To create and set the attributes listed in WooCommerce, navigate to Products -> Attributes. Here you can add such properties as:
- Name. Add attribute’s name.
- Slug. A unique code for the attribute.
- Enable archive: check it if you want this attribute to have product archives in your store.
- The default sort order: defines sort order.
- After that just click Add attribute button.
When, on the right side, you will see your new attribute. Press Configure the terms to add info:
- Name: what will appear on the site
- Slug: a unique code
- Description: write more about the new attribute’s item
- Click “Add new” button.
Add the attributes to the product
To add the created attributes, to the product, open the product page and scroll down
- Find the Product data section
