Time for action - an attributes example
Here we will see how to create several versions of a product. The customer can then select the one they want from a drop-down list. The product price and image will update.
1. Click on Catalog and then Attributes and groups.
2. Let's start by adding an attributes group. Click on Add attributes group and type in the name of your attributes group. In my case T-shirt styles.
3. Notice you have the option to enter a different public name. So you could call your attribute group something different in the admin and shop fronts. If this is important, perhaps to avoid using overly technical terms, then do so. If possible, I would keep them the same to avoid confusion. Our confusion.
4. The color checkbox gives you the facility to provide actual colors, not just descriptions. If you choose these, you will simply enter a color code as well as an attribute value for each option. If you are providing an image for each attribute option, this feature is unnecessary...
