What is Magento Product Attribute?
Magento’s product attributes are a versatile tool for specifying characteristics in a catalog, including color, size, and more. These attributes allow you to highlight any distinctive information about a product. You can choose from attribute types like:
- Text Field
- Text Area
- Date
- Yes/No
- Multiple Select
- Dropdown
- Price
- Image
- Fixed Product Tax
- Single file attachment
Magento includes a default set of 66 product attributes. While you can modify existing attribute properties, the “Catalog Input Type for Store Owner” option is unalterable. To make changes in this regard, create a new product attribute. These attributes not only display individual characteristics but also aid in navigating and filtering products in the catalog. Note that for layered navigation, only Multiple Select, Dropdown, and Price attributes can be used.
What is the Magento attribute set?
An attribute set in Magento is a compilation of specific individual product attributes that collectively define all the characteristics of a product. When creating a new product, the attribute set is employed, allowing the addition of essential product information in a single step.
