About product attributes
What is an attribute?
Attributes are characteristics of a physical product that allow different variants of the same product. For example, a merchant may sell Pies as a product with "Flavor" as an attribute, where "Key Lime" and "Pecan" may be different variants of Pies.
When can I create attributes for a product?
When creating a physical product in the Squarespace UI, a variant without attributes is created by default. In order to distinguish any new variants from each other, attributes (known as "Options" in the UI) must be added to the product first.
A Product must have at least one variant and attributes adhering to the following conditions.
| # of Product.variants | Product.variantAttributes | # of attributes; min | # of attributes; max |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Not required | 0 | 6 |
| 2 or more | Required | 1 | 6 |
