Attribute Types and Formulas

Each attribute has a type that defines how its data behaves and is rendered in the storefront:
  • Text — for short descriptors or identifiers (e.g., Model, Collection, Material).
  • Long text — for rich content, like extended descriptions or care instructions.
  • Number — for measurable values (e.g., Length, Weight, Capacity).
  • Currency — for monetary fields, such as Deposit amount or Optional fee.
  • Percent — for relative values like Discount level or Recycled material ratio.
  • Yes / No — for toggles like Eco-certified or Available in-store.
  • Date / Date & Time — for campaign dates, seasonal availability, or expiry information.
  • Select — for choosing a single option from a predefined list (e.g., Condition: New, Used, Refurbished).
  • Multi-select — for multiple attributes (e.g., Activities: Hiking, Skiing, Climbing).
  • Files & media — for attaching visuals like product manuals or certificates.
  • Relation — for linking listings to other entities, such as SKU or Stock Item attributes
  • Formula — for automatically derived values (e.g., Total value = Base price + Deposit).
  • External — for fetching live data from third-party systems or APIs (e.g., Market price index, External rating).
Formulas and external attributes allow dynamic data without modifying your storefront structure — letting listings update automatically when underlying data changes.

Attribute Groups

Attributes can be organized into groups to structure listing data and improve maintainability. Groups are used to separate related information and keep complex data organized.
Examples of attribute groups:
  • *Product details
  • Technical specifications
  • Sustainability information
  • Size and fit*
Grouping helps you maintain consistency across listings and makes it easier to apply shared attribute sets when creating new listings.
Example: Attribute Group Technical Specifications ← Group ↓ Attributes
  • Material
  • Weight
  • Volume
  • Dimensions
Groups can be reused across multiple listings to standardize data collection and storefront presentation. You can control the attribute groups through Attributes & Tags settings.
