5. Product Attribute Sets

v. 21.07.2011

An attribute set in Store manager for magento and in Magento itself is a collection of attributes. Let’s imagine we are selling a shirt. In addition to the default Magento attributes, you want to show your customers some extra information in the front-end:

Color

Shirt Size

Manufacturer (Brand)

Material (ex. Cotton, wool, …)

Attribute set is nothing more than product type in your online store. Shirts will have different attributes than watches or sunglasses. So, before you stat inserting the products directly under “Default” attribute set where you will put them all in the same group, try to think about what attribute sets will you have. Assign relevant attributes to the relevant attribute sets and only than start adding products.
