How Do I Add a Product Attribute in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:07 pm

Product attributes are extra data fields that you can use to provide additional information about a product in WooCommerce. Attributes can be used for variations, as well as for configurable products. For example, if you were selling a shirt, you could use attributes to specify the color, size, and material of the shirt.

To add a product attribute:

1. Go to: WooCommerce > Products. 2. Select the product you want to edit and select “Edit”. 3. Select the “Attributes” tab from the Product Data section. 4. If your attribute is not yet created, select “Add New Attribute” from the dropdown menu. If it has already been created, select it from the list below (these are global attributes that can be applied to any product). 5.

Enter a name for your attribute in the “Name” field and then click “Save Attributes”. 6. Now that your attribute has been saved, you can add values for it by selecting “Add New Value” from the dropdown menu. 7. Enter a value for your attribute in the “Value(s)” field and then click “Save Attributes”. 8. Repeat steps 6-7 for each additional value you want to add for this attribute. 9. Once you have finished adding values for your attribute, select whether or not it is visible on the product page and/or used for variations from the “Visibility” and “Used for variations” dropdown menus respectively. 10. Click “Save Attributes” to save your changes.

PRO TIP: If you are adding a product attribute in WooCommerce, be aware that there is a potential for errors. Make sure that you have all the information you need before starting, and be careful when entering data.

Your attribute should now be successfully added to your product!
