00:00:05:26 - 00:00:06:12
okay.
00:00:06:12 - 00:00:09:22
And then the final thing is just to talk
00:00:09:22 - 00:00:12:22
very briefly about attributes.
00:00:15:00 - 00:00:16:12
So let me just go to
00:00:16:12 - 00:00:19:12
one of my example products again.
00:00:27:00 - 00:00:29:16
Okay,
so as we've seen with other products,
00:00:29:16 - 00:00:32:18
I've just sort of thrown as many things
at this as I can.
00:00:32:18 - 00:00:33:29
So it looks a little bit messy,
00:00:33:29 - 00:00:36:29
but it hopefully gives an understanding
of what it's capable of.
00:00:37:18 - 00:00:42:07
So all of these selectable things
that we can see on the right hand side
00:00:42:07 - 00:00:46:21
here are our attributes
can take multiple different forms.
00:00:46:21 - 00:00:48:05
So we've got dropdown lists.
00:00:48:05 - 00:00:51:03
We've got radio buttons checkboxes.
00:00:51:03 - 00:00:54:21
If we want to apply multiple things
we can allow the user
00:00:54:21 - 00:00:57:21
to input text either
a single line or multi-line.
00:00:57:21 - 00:00:59:05
If we want to do so,
00:00:59:05 - 00:01:01:12
we can give them the ability
to choose a date
00:01:01:12 - 00:01:04:05
if that's relevant
to our particular selection,
00:01:04:05 - 00:01:07:03
and we can even give them the ability
to upload additional files
00:01:07:03 - 00:01:11:05
and additional information if, again,
that's applicable to what we need.
00:01:11:22 - 00:01:12:22
And those are some of the
00:01:13:26 - 00:01:16:26
most used attribute types. So.
00:01:18:13 - 00:01:21:19
So as you can kind of see with that
that range of options
00:01:21:19 - 00:01:24:19
there, they allow you
to add customization to your products.
00:01:24:28 - 00:01:27:22
This is enhances
the user experience by giving
00:01:27:22 - 00:01:30:22
customers
more control over their purchases.
00:01:31:00 - 00:01:34:04
And then attributes are as many of you
know,
00:01:34:04 - 00:01:37:22
they're going to be essential in web
to print or e-commerce environments
00:01:38:00 - 00:01:42:16
because they enable the presentation
of required options.
00:01:42:16 - 00:01:45:27
So things like size, color, finish,
and so on.
00:01:47:06 - 00:01:50:03
By setting up our product attributes,
you can allow customers
00:01:50:03 - 00:01:53:21
to tailor their orders
according to their specific requirements
00:01:54:03 - 00:01:58:08
and then even adjust prices based
on those selections if you need to do so.
00:01:58:27 - 00:02:02:03
So you can see, for example,
that on some of these I have an uplift
00:02:02:11 - 00:02:05:08
based on either,
00:02:05:08 - 00:02:09:14
an absolute value uplift
or a percentage uplift.
00:02:10:06 - 00:02:12:17
So if I choose one of these
which has that uplift on it,
00:02:12:17 - 00:02:14:11
it will affect the total price.
00:02:17:28 - 00:02:26:26
And. Okay.
00:02:26:26 - 00:02:32:09
Now setting up attributes is again
we have loads of resources for this.
00:02:32:09 - 00:02:35:14
If you, are not massively familiar,
this is just going to be a general
00:02:35:14 - 00:02:36:19
overview.
00:02:36:19 - 00:02:39:19
So if we go to the product
attributes area,
00:02:40:01 - 00:02:43:01
that gives us a list of
all of the attributes that we've created.
00:02:43:12 - 00:02:46:12
Now it's important
to remember the attributes themselves.
00:02:48:00 - 00:02:50:06
Created once
00:02:50:06 - 00:02:53:00
but then can be assigned
to multiple different products.
00:02:53:00 - 00:02:55:21
You're not just sort of creating them
on a per product basis.
00:02:55:21 - 00:02:57:24
If you don't want to.
00:02:57:24 - 00:03:00:24
So we go to attributes.
00:03:04:02 - 00:03:05:09
And I have product attributes
00:03:05:09 - 00:03:08:09
where we can create the attribute
we want to use.
00:03:08:18 - 00:03:11:20
And then we've got the choice to either
directly assign them to a product.
00:03:12:05 - 00:03:16:16
Or we can go to product attribute values.
00:03:20:16 - 00:03:23:14
Where we can actually predefine
some values.
00:03:23:14 - 00:03:27:16
So let's say for example
we've got a a dropdown list.
00:03:28:01 - 00:03:31:00
And this dropdown list is of
00:03:31:00 - 00:03:34:19
regularly used entries or options
00:03:34:22 - 00:03:38:00
let's say such as clothing
sizes small, medium or large.
00:03:38:15 - 00:03:41:19
You could predefine some values
for that attribute
00:03:42:00 - 00:03:45:00
so that whenever you assign the attribute
to a product,
00:03:45:07 - 00:03:48:07
those options are already available.
00:03:48:15 - 00:03:49:14
You don't have to do this.
00:03:49:14 - 00:03:53:01
You can create them on a product basis
when you assign them, if you wish to do
00:03:53:01 - 00:03:56:01
so, and then.
00:03:56:19 - 00:03:58:02
To assign products,
00:03:58:02 - 00:04:01:02
to assign attributes
to products is nice and easy.
00:04:02:15 - 00:04:04:01
So if we go back to the product
00:04:04:01 - 00:04:07:01
variant settings.
00:04:08:09 - 00:04:10:06
Go to the attributes tab.
00:04:10:06 - 00:04:13:06
And then it's just a case of add
the record,
00:04:14:04 - 00:04:17:09
choosing the attribute
that we want to utilize,
00:04:18:20 - 00:04:22:06
and selecting the control type
that we want to create.
00:04:22:06 - 00:04:27:21
So whether it's text box, checkboxes,
whatever it may be, and then if relevant,
00:04:27:27 - 00:04:31:23
we could also add these additional values
to it as well.
00:04:31:23 - 00:04:34:29
So predefined whether it's got some
00:04:36:24 - 00:04:39:15
some things just selecting
the radio buttons or the dropdown
00:04:39:15 - 00:04:42:15
box for example.
00:04:45:27 - 00:04:47:20
Now we're not going to have time
to go through it.
00:04:47:20 - 00:04:52:12
But again we have resources showing you
how to create logic on your attributes.
00:04:52:21 - 00:04:58:14
So let's say for example
we have small selected.
00:04:58:27 - 00:05:01:27
But then when we've got small selected
it means we've only got
00:05:02:15 - 00:05:05:15
two out of three covers available.
00:05:05:26 - 00:05:08:13
Now what you can do is
you can create some logic in there
00:05:08:13 - 00:05:12:25
which says, well, when someone's got small
selected, it shows only two colors.
00:05:13:04 - 00:05:16:18
When we've got medium selected,
it shows all three colors and so on.
00:05:16:27 - 00:05:19:18
So you can create logic
around these attributes.
00:05:19:18 - 00:05:20:08
Selections.
00:05:22:29 - 00:05:23:23
We've also got the
00:05:23:23 - 00:05:26:23
ability to do something
called attribute combinations.
00:05:27:02 - 00:05:30:02
So this gives you the ability to
00:05:30:04 - 00:05:34:02
both attribute combinations
come into play
00:05:34:02 - 00:05:38:29
when you need to do things such as manage
stock levels, manage different SKUs,
00:05:39:12 - 00:05:42:12
or if you want different images
to be displayed,
00:05:42:16 - 00:05:47:22
based on a specific selection
of attributes.
00:05:48:07 - 00:05:51:15
So this is particularly useful
in situations where each combination
00:05:51:15 - 00:05:55:04
of attributes requires its own inventory
or has its own SKU.
00:05:55:26 - 00:05:58:25
So for example,
let's say we've got a t shirt available
00:05:58:25 - 00:06:01:29
in red and blue,
and that comes in small, medium and large.
00:06:02:17 - 00:06:06:06
Each color and size combination
might have different stock levels,
00:06:06:18 - 00:06:11:15
and some common
some sizes might be more expensive.
00:06:11:15 - 00:06:12:29
For example,
00:06:12:29 - 00:06:17:10
you can also associate different product
images with these different combinations.
00:06:18:12 - 00:06:18:24
So by
00:06:18:24 - 00:06:21:27
utilizing attributes
and let me show you an example of this.
00:06:22:22 - 00:06:25:22
So I've got on the attribute
combination tab
00:06:26:18 - 00:06:28:23
here I've specified three combinations.
00:06:28:23 - 00:06:30:09
But you can have as many as you like.
00:06:30:09 - 00:06:32:23
And you can import them from a CSV
as well.
00:06:32:23 - 00:06:34:23
To make it easier,
00:06:34:23 - 00:06:37:03
if I go on edit on one of those,
00:06:37:03 - 00:06:39:24
you can see the kind of options
that I have available.
00:06:39:24 - 00:06:42:15
So I have the ability to choose a specific
00:06:42:15 - 00:06:45:23
stock quantity that I have in
for that particular combination.
00:06:45:26 - 00:06:48:26
So let's say a large blue t shirt,
00:06:49:24 - 00:06:52:09
we can say whether or not
they allow back orders,
00:06:52:09 - 00:06:55:15
what the SKU is for that
particular product combination.
00:06:56:06 - 00:07:00:28
And we've also got the ability to specify
separate images for that as well.
00:07:02:13 - 00:07:05:01
And that will all be taken
into consideration in the background.
00:07:05:01 - 00:07:07:08
It doesn't necessarily
need to be shown to the customer.
00:07:07:08 - 00:07:10:06
You don't want to.
00:07:10:06 - 00:07:13:16
So by utilizing product attributes
and attribute combinations,
00:07:13:25 - 00:07:17:17
you can create an engaging
and dynamic storefront experience
00:07:17:24 - 00:07:21:17
that caters to that specific customers
customization needs.
00:07:22:06 - 00:07:25:20
And still gives you really precise
control over things like,
00:07:26:06 - 00:07:30:22
pricing, stock levels and, and so on.
