Attributes can be utilised to add additional details to your products, without having to use the Product Description. If you have a series of one- or two-word keywords for you different products, then Attributes could be used to display these.
Examples
Using Attributes
Attributes can be used in two main ways:
- Defined
- When you have a predefined list of all of your attributes, and you only choose from those Attributes.
- Example: Skill levels, duration, tutor
- Ad-hoc
- Add attributes as needed to your products.
- Example: Topics
Attribute Groups
