Each product inherits the already embedded within its category attributes, or the attribute of the already existing products under the specific category. Filling all the information in the inherited attributes is necessary only if the attribute is Required.

  • When done filling in all the specifics, press “Save Attribute” and your newly created attribute will appear in the product builder window. 
  • When done filling in all the specifics, press “Create Product” and your newly created product will appear in the product catalogue under its appropriate category.
