Product Attributes

Add custom options and notes to your products, allowing customers to specify preferences, sizes, colors, and special requests.

Overview

Product attributes let you add customizable options that customers can choose when selecting your product. This includes both simple notes (text fields) and organized attribute categories with multiple values (like sizes, colors, or lengths).

Accessing Attributes

  1. Open the product you want to configure
  2. Click on the Attributes tab
  3. You'll see two main sections:
    • Notes - Text fields for special requests or instructions
    • Categories - Organized groups of options (e.g., Size, Color, Length)

Notes

Notes are text fields that appear when a customer selects your product. They're useful for collecting:

  • Special requests
  • Additional instructions
  • Customer preferences
  • Allergies or important information
  • Custom requirements

Adding a Note

  1. Click the "Add Note" button
  2. Enter the note text in the text area
    • Examples: "Special request", "Allergies", "Preferred time", etc.
  3. Click the checkmark (✓) button to save

Editing a Note

  1. Find the note you want to edit
  2. Click the pencil (✏️) icon
  3. Modify the text in the text area
  4. Click the checkmark (✓) button to save your changes

Deleting a Note

  1. Find the note you want to delete
  2. Click the trash (🗑️) icon
  3. Confirm the deletion

Note: Deleting a note cannot be undone. Make sure you want to remove it before confirming.

Attribute Categories

Attribute categories let you create organized groups of options that customers can choose from. This is perfect for:

  • Sizes: Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large
  • Colors: Red, Blue, Green, Black, White
  • Lengths: Short, Medium, Long
  • Styles: Classic, Modern, Vintage
  • Any other options your product needs

Creating a Category

  2. Enter a category name
    • Examples: "Length", "Color", "Size", "Style"
    • Use clear, descriptive names
  3. Click the checkmark (✓) button to save
  4. The category will appear with an empty values list

Adding Values to a Category

Once you've created a category, you can add values:

  1. Find the category you want to add values to
  2. Click "Add Value" next to the category name
  3. Enter the value name
    • Examples: For "Length" category: "Short", "Medium", "Long"
    • Examples: For "Color" category: "Red", "Blue", "Green"
  4. Click the checkmark (✓) button to save
  5. Repeat to add more values to the same category

Reordering Values

You can change the order in which values appear:

  1. Find the value you want to move
  2. Click and hold the grip handle (⋮⋮) on the left
  3. Drag the value up or down to the desired position
  4. Release to drop it in the new position

Tip: Order values logically (e.g., Small → Medium → Large, or Short → Medium → Long).

Editing a Category or Value

  1. Find the category or value you want to edit
  2. Click the pencil (✏️) icon
  3. Modify the name
  4. Click the checkmark (✓) button to save

Best Practices

Notes

  • Keep note labels clear and specific
  • Use notes for information that doesn't fit into categories
  • Don't create too many notes (2-4 is usually enough)
  • Make note labels customer-friendly

Attribute Categories

  • Use categories for options that customers need to choose from
  • Keep category names simple and clear
  • Use consistent naming across similar products
  • Order values logically (smallest to largest, shortest to longest, etc.)

Value Organization

  • Group related values together in categories
  • Use clear, descriptive value names
  • Avoid creating too many values per category (5-8 is usually manageable)
  • Consider the customer experience when organizing values

When to Use Notes vs. Categories

  • Use Notes for:

    • Free-form text input
    • Special requests
    • Additional information
    • Instructions
  • Use Categories for:

    • Predefined options
    • Choices that affect pricing or availability
    • Options that need to be tracked or reported
    • Standard variations (sizes, colors, etc.)

Tips

  1. Plan Your Attributes: Think about what options customers need before creating categories
  2. Keep It Simple: Don't overcomplicate with too many categories or values
  3. Be Consistent: Use the same category names across similar products
  4. Test the Experience: Consider how attributes appear to customers when booking
  5. Regular Review: Periodically review and update attributes to keep them relevant
