Attributes Tab
The Product Attributes feature allows you to create different types of designation labels for stock, such as size and colour. You can select premade Attributes or create those that you need based on your product.
An example of this is if a merchant has a variety of round neck t-shirts for sale at a fixed price and they were all the same t-shirt, except for their size and colour. To sort their stock, they choose to separate them by labelling them for both size and colour for inventory purposes. Product Attributes allow you to choose or create these different sorting labels.
Product Attributes work in tandem with Product Variations for stock differentiation to occur.
Linked Products Tab
The Up-sells feature allows you to link other Inventory Products you have already created into your Up-sells area. These items appear to shoppers under the "Explore Similar Items" area on the Product Listing for the product you are currently adding.
The Cross-sells feature allows you to link other Inventory Products you have already created into your Cross-sells area. These items appear to shoppers under the "You May Also Like" area on the Product Listing for the product you are currently adding.
Advanced Tab
Create a Purchase Note for your item. This note will appear to users on your Product Listing, underneath the Product Description.
An example of how this could be used would be if you had a patterned clothing item for sale, but the item the customer will receive may not look exactly as shown in the product picture. You can notify customers before purchasing to avoid returns and a bad shopping experience for that potential customer.
Enable or disable Product Reviews for this Inventory item.
