How to Add Product Attributes

Product attributes represent customisations that generally do not affect pricing, such as colour, size, or style.

🚧

Unlike product options, product attributes usually offer choices that don’t affect the price.

Adding product attributes requires two steps:

• Create a list of choices on the Product Attributes page.
• Link those choices on the Product Details page.

Access the product catalogue

1. Log in to the Upmind dashboard.
2. Access it from the dashboard by clicking on Store Catalogue.

3. You can also click Settings and select the Product Catalogue tile under Products and Promotions.

4. Click the attributes tab.

Creating attribute categories

A category is like a folder that groups related product attributes. If you plan to offer variations now or later, using multiple categories saves time.

1. Click Add New > Product attributes category.

2. Provide a unique name.
3. Add category description (not visible to customers).

4. Allow customers to select multiple attribute options simultaneously. (Optional)

5. Click Create. Upmind creates a category with zero product attributes.

Adding product attributes

1. Find the attribute category.
2. Click the three-dot menu.
3. Click Add product attribute.

4. Confirm the category or select a different one.
5. Ensure visibility boxes are checked (for staff and customers).
   1. Is active: If unchecked, this product won’t appear in your store.
   2. Is visible to clients: If unchecked, clients won’t see this product, but staff can still order it.
6. Enter the attribute’s name and description (visible to customers).
7. Click Create.
8. Repeat for additional attributes.

Editing attributes

1. On the Product attributes tab, select a category to view attributes.
2. Use the three-dot menu to edit or delete attributes as needed.
3. You can also duplicate attributes.

Linking attributes to products

1. Click the Products tab.
2. Expand the relevant category.

3. Select the target product and click the three-dot menu > Edit.

4. Click the Product attributes menu link.

5. Click Manage.
6. Choose the attribute category and select attributes to display.

7. Save your changes.
8. Click Manage to edit an attribute.
9. Click the red circle to delete an attribute, or choose detach.

Customer view

Customers will see the linked attributes as options when viewing the product, and can select them at checkout.

On the Basket page:

• Click the Details to view the product attribute.
• Click Edit to choose a different attribute.
