A Product Attribute is a characteristic that defines a particular product and will affect a consumer's purchase decision.
In Product attribute field a user can create the custom or additional fields for the products.
TO CREATE ADDITIONAL ATTRIBUTES FOR PRODUCTS, FOLLOW STEPS:
You can create product attributes by 2 ways:
a. With field group
b. Without field group.
a. With field group: First you need to create a field group, click on new button to create field group. In field type, select field group and enter your field name and save.
After that, create new product attribute and select field type accordingly. Then select your field group and fill needed information accordingly.
b. Without field group: In this, just create product attribute and select your field type without selecting field group.
These product attributes can be used with the help of Product attribute short-codes at various places in sellaccous like order detail, invoices, pdfs and emails.
Product specification short-code can be used like %F-COLOR% (i.e. for field with alias = color).
Please note that product specifications that were saved at the time of order will be shown through the short-code. If a product specification value is edited later in product, it won't be changed in old orders.
