How To Add Specific Attributes To Your Products

Product attributes are characteristics that describe a product, such as size, color, or material. They can be applied to any new or existing products in your store.

There are two main types of attributes: global attributes and product-specific attributes. Global attributes are created once and can be applied across multiple products, while product-specific attributes are unique to a single product. This tutorial explains how to add product specific attributes.

    If the product will use most of the variations that you just created, then choose Generate Variations, you can always remove the ones you don't need. If the product will use only some of the variations, then you can choose to add them manually.
