Add custom attributes to products

Beyond the standard fields, custom attributes let you record details specific to your business — a color, a material, a temperature requirement, a HS code.

Add an attribute

1. Go to Inventory → Products and open attribute settings.
2. Create an attribute with a name and a type (text, number, list of options, yes/no).
3. The attribute now appears on every product’s edit form.

Fill attributes in

Set values per product on the edit form, or include them as columns in a CSV import.

Where attributes earn their keep

• Filtering — narrow a list to “color = red” or “temperature = chilled”
• Picking accuracy — show a distinguishing attribute on the pick screen
• Exports — attributes come along in CSV exports

Keep the set lean

Add attributes you’ll actually filter or report on. A dozen attributes nobody fills in just makes the product form longer.

Tip: a “storage requirement” attribute (ambient / chilled / frozen) is one of the most useful — it can guide put-away and prevents the wrong item going to the wrong zone.
