Before reading this guide, please refer to the article Product Attributes to know more details on what an attribute is and what it is needed for.

⚠️PLEASE NOTE: Attributes differ depending on the product category. Based on their necessity according to the legislation and platform rules, some attributes are mandatory, some are optional ones. Please refer to the Category Requirements page in the Merchant Panel to check what attributes your products need. 

How to Add Attributes for the Products?

There are four ways to add the attributes for your products and product variants:

• via Merchant Panel interface;
• via product description in the Merchant Panel;
• via CSV/XLSX file;
• via API.

General Rules of Filling in an Attribute

• Both attribute name and value should be written in English;
• Carefully enter the name and values: even a missing letter or typo can prevent the system from recognizing an attribute;
• If the attribute has multiple values, separate them by commas. There must be a space after each comma;
• Do not put a full stop at the end of the attribute name or value;
• Do not put a colon at the end of the attribute name while adding it via CSV/XLSX file;
• Put a colon after the attribute name and a space before the attribute value while adding it via the Merchant Panel.
