Attributes

You can find this section under Products > Attributes in the IRP Admin left navigation menu.

You use this section to define the attributes that can be assigned to products on your website. In turn, you can apply values to the attributes using the Attribute Values section which will allow customers to filter their searches and selections to find suitable products based on specific criteria.

Examples of common attributes include:

  • Age group
  • Colour
  • Gender
  • Material
  • Size

How can I show attributes only for in-stock items?
You can enable the ‘Left Nav Attributes Menu Show In Stock Only Filter’ Application Setting (‘Left Nav Product Filter’ grouping ) which will display a check box in the left nav for filtering results by those that are in stock only. This in turn will filter the number of attributes in the left nav.
