Guide to Enter Product Attributes Such as Color and Size

This is a guide on how to enter product attributes such as color and size on WooCommerce, Shopify, Dandomain, Magento 1.x, and Golden Planet, respectively.

After creating a product on your webshop, there may be different variants of the products in some cases. Variants may have different colors or sizes.

It is important to name the two product attributes “farve” or “Color” and “størrelse” or “size” on your webshop.

Name the product attributes as mentioned above so that the Avecdo system can read and understand the values and insert them into the feed correctly.

Once you have entered the values on your webshop, it is important to remember to download your new data into Avecdo.

You can always download the latest data under the “Shop Setting” section in Avecdo.

Click on “fetch data” to ensure that the Avecdo system retrieves the latest data from your webshop.

1. Woocommerce

To create a product variant, the product must be set up as a variable item.

You can add the product attributes, colors, and sizes by incorporating a custom product attribute.

1.1 Add Product Attributes

1.1.1 Click on “Properties” on the left under “item data.”

1.1.2 Choose an attribute from the dropdown menu, and then click “add.”

1.1.3 Choose the attribute you want to apply and add your values. You can do this by clicking on “select all” or “add new.”

1.1.4 Click on “save properties.”

1.2. You Also Have the Option to Create Your Own Product Attributes.

To create your own, choose “custom properties” and click “add.”

1.2.1 Name the attributes either “farve” or “Color” and “størrelse” or “size.” Then add your values and click “save properties.”

1.2.2 Afterward, add your values. Remember that the values should be separated by | (for example, Green | Blue | Red):

1.2.3 Click on “Save properties.”

1.3 Add the Attributes to the Actual Variant.

To add the newly created product attributes to a variant, click on the “variants” section.

1.3.1 Choose “add variant” from the dropdown menu and click “continue.”

1.3.2 Specify the correct value for the variant and click “save changes.”

To add more variants, click “continue” (Follow step 1.3.1).

2. Shopify

In Shopify, you create a product variant by adding it under the “Variants” section on the product page where you add a product.

You can add the variant while creating the main product.

2.1.1 Check the box “This product has multiple options” in the “Variants” section on the product page.

2.1.1 Name product attributes, for example, Size and Color. You can choose multiple product attributes (options) by clicking “Add another option.”

2.1.3 For each product attribute, specify your values followed by a comma.

2.1.4 Click “Save.”

You will find all product variants on the product page itself, where you have the option to edit and add more variants.

3. Dandomain

In Dandomain, you need to start by creating variant groups such as size or color to add values to the product variant. This is done under the “Products” section by clicking on variant groups.

3.1 Add the Variant Groups to the Product.

3.1.1 Click on the “variants” tab and double-click on the variant groups, for example, size and color, that should be added to the product.

The selected variant groups will appear in the “variant values” field, where you can choose the correct values.

The variant groups are now added to the variant.

4.1.1 Click on “+ Create new Attribute” under the “General” section.

4.1.2 In the “Attribute code” field, name the attribute, for example, size or color, and click “Save Attribute.”

You can now find the newly created product attributes under the “General” section.

Here, you enter the product’s value.

When mapping product attributes from your webshop with Avecdo, you assist the Avecdo system in understanding your product attributes so that it is sent correctly in your feed.

4.2.1 Click on “System” in the top tab and then on “Configuration”:

4.2.2 Click on “Attribute Mapping” on the left under “Avecdo.”
