Product specifications and attributes

An attribute written into the description is a sentence. An attribute recorded as data is a filter, a comparison and a field in the feed for advertisers. The difference between the two decides whether the customer can narrow the choice at all.

The trouble is that every supplier calls the same figure something different. So the names from the source are mapped onto your attributes once, after which every subsequent import lands in the right place.

{ Additional features }

What you actually get

Import in a single pass

Attributes are imported for the whole catalogue at once, from a table or a feed, rather than item by item.

Mapping of different names

The same figure under three different names at three suppliers is reduced to one attribute in your catalogue.

Filters that create themselves

Every attribute can become a filter in the store, with values filled from the catalogue itself.

Product comparison

The customer compares several products by the same attributes, with no extra data entry on your side.

Attributes per category and brand

A set of attributes is tied to a category or brand, so the customer is not given empty fields that have nothing to do with the product.

Common questions

What about products with no attributes?

For those, attributes can be filled in automatically, with the help of the bot described on the page about AI content writing.

How many attributes can one product have?

The number is not limited, and in practice electronics comfortably carry several dozen per item.

Are filters configured per category?

They are, because filters for footwear and for washing machines do not overlap. Configuration is done once per category.

Do attributes go into the advertiser feed?

They do, through mapping onto the fields the advertiser requires, which the page on feeds describes.
