HELP VIDEO:
An item has attributes to describe what it is.
For example, a pair of jeans comes in a variety of colours, materials, leg length and waist sizes. These are all attributes of the pair jeans.
We use attributes to add detail to the product and help customers choose the right product when they are buying the product online.
For example, on a web page, if you want the customer to see a Jacket and have drop downs for colour and size, we will need to create attributes called “Colour” and “Size”
You may want to create one price for your website and another price for eBay. We would create attributes called “website price” and “eBay price”.
Manage your website meta data using attributes. Create attributes called “Meta Title” and “Meta Description”
Attributes can be used in many ways in Stok.ly.
