Working with Attributes
Attributes provide a way for you to offer concise descriptions about particular products and are available to all products in your Quick Shopping Cart catalog. Once created, attributes are available to each product through the individual product page. Attributes are optional, you do not have to assign any attributes to a product.
In the Wizard Builder, attributes are NOT available in Step 2: Product Catalog.
In the Advanced Builder, you can assign attributes to products on the Products page. To create attributes for general use and not for a specific product, from the Catalog menu, select Attributes.
