How do I use product attributes in WooCommerce?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 10:09 pm

Product attributes are important in WooCommerce because they allow you to customize your site’s appearance and functionality. For example, you can use product attributes to change the color of a product, add a custom image to a product, or change the price of a product.

To add a product attribute, go to the product page in your WooCommerce store, and click the “Attributes” tab. This tab includes a list of all the product attributes you can use in your store.

To change a product attribute, click the “Edit” button next to the attribute you want to change. This opens the attribute’s settings page.

In the settings page, you can change the value of the attribute, choose a value from a list, or enter a new value yourself.

PRO TIP: Product attributes in WooCommerce can be used to provide additional information about a product, such as size, color, or material. However, they can also be used to create variations of a product, such as different sizes or colors.

If you are using product attributes to create variations of a product, it is important to remember that each variation will need its own SKU (Stock Keeping Unit). If you do not assign a unique SKU to each variation, WooCommerce will not be able to track inventory for the product properly.

Additionally, when creating product variations, be sure to set the “Regular Price” for each variation. The “Sale Price” field is only for temporary price discounts and should not be used for the regular price of a product variation.

When you’re finished editing the attribute’s settings, click the “Save” button to save your changes.

Finally, to use a product attribute in your store, go to the product page, and click the “Use” button next to the attribute you want to use. This opens the product’s usage page.

On the usage page, you can select the attribute’s value from a list, or enter a new value yourself.

That’s all there is to it! Product attributes are a great way to customize your WooCommerce store’s appearance and functionality. We recommend using them whenever possible.
