Properties

Properties are custom attributes you can add to products – like Size, Color, Weight, or Certifications. They help you describe products in more detail and are essential for creating product variants.

Why properties matter

Product variants Properties like Size and Color are used to create configurable products. A t-shirt in sizes S, M, L, XL needs a "Size" property.

Filtering and search Staff and customers can filter products by property values to find what they need faster.

Product information Store additional details on products – like weight, material, or certifications – for reference or integrations.

Property types

Type	What it does	Example
Single Select	Choose one option from a list	Size: S, M, L, XL
Multiple Select	Choose multiple options from a list	Certifications: CE, FSC, Organic
Text	Free text entry per product	Weight: "2.5 kg", URL to product page

For configurable products: Only Single Select properties can be used to define variants. Each variant needs one clear value per property so the system can identify it uniquely – a t-shirt can be Size M or Size L, not both.

Tips

Plan for variants first If you're selling products in different sizes or colors, set up those properties before adding products. It's easier than going back later.

Keep options consistent Use "Red" everywhere, not "Red" on some products and "red" or "RED" on others.

Don't overdo it Only create properties you'll actually use for filtering, variants, or integrations. Too many clutters the product form.
