Properties

Properties are pre-defined values which can be assigned to any of the standard product types.

The properties are also used when dealing with Configurable / variant products.

Flow Retail supports three types of Properties:

Dropdown / single select

These are pre-defined values, and where one specific value needs to be selected on the product that gets these types of properties assigned.

The best example is a property Size, with pre-defined values like S, M, XL, etc.

Another example of using this property type is Color.

When creating Configurable / variant products, one can ONLY use the Dropdown / single select property type on the properties used to define the configurable product.

Multi-select

These are identical to Single-select, except that one can add multiple property values from a specific property to products that has this property assigned.

Examples of this can be a propery called "Certifications", which has a list of pre-defined certification property values, and where products can have multiple certifications assigned to it.

Text field

This property type adds a text field as the property value, and which must be manually added on a per-product basis.

Examples of this can be a propery called "Weight", where one adds the weight in kilos or kilograms, per product. Other examples can be URL to the webpage for the product, or any other very unique value for the product.
