What Are Custom Attributes?
By default, product attributes in Sellbrite are fairly limited to basic information such as product name, brand, and manufacturer. However, Sellbrite allows you to expand these attributes by creating Custom Attributes. Custom Attributes let you add specific details relevant to your products, such as style, color, and length. This additional item-specific data helps you better organize and manage your products in Sellbrite.
How Do Add Custom Attributes?
To create a new Custom Attribute, click Settings > Custom Product Attributes. Create the attribute by simply typing in the attribute name and clicking '+ Add'. This will only create the Attribute name (i.e. Style). You will populate the actual attribute values within each individual product or in bulk by using a CSV file.
NOTE: Custom Attributes are case-sensitive, so be careful with your capitalization.
What is a Product Attribute Value?
If a product attribute is 'style', then its values would be something like 'modern', 'vintage', or 'bohemian.' To add a value, go to your Edit Product page for the item you wish to update, then navigate to the 'Custom Attributes' tab.
Select your attribute from the dropdown and enter a value.
NOTE: Custom Attributes won't be visible on product pages until a value is provided for that attribute. are hidden until you add a value.
