Use this page to view, edit, and add attribute groups for the site. Attribute groups define sets of attributes that are used to provide additional information about products. The value of an attribute will likely vary between products and/or product variants (SKUs).
After an attribute group is defined, it is associated with a Product Type. While editing a product, you can then set values for the attributes in the attribute group by:
selecting the Dynamic Attributes tab of the product (for a non-international site), or the Locales tab of the product (for an international site), then selecting the corresponding product type. This will allow you to set attributes defined at the product level.
selecting the Variants tab, then selecting "Add Dynamic Attributes". This will allow you to set attributes defined at the variant (SKU) level.
For additional information on working with attribute groups, product types, and products, see Creating Dynamic Attributes.
