Product Properties
How to manage product properties in the Spree open-source eCommerce dashboard
Product properties provide detailed specifications, such as dimensions, materials, care instructions, allergen warnings, etc., that help customers make informed purchase decisions.
They streamline inventory management by standardizing key product details across listings. Additionally, product properties enhance product listings by highlighting unique features that differentiate items from competitors.
To manage product Properties, navigate to the Properties tab of the admin dashboard found under Products.
This page lists all of the product properties added to your store, with columns indicating the kind of property, how many products have the property, and the visibilility of the property.
If the product is visible on the storefront, it will be presented below the product description on PDPs if and only if the product has a non-empty value for that property field:
Feel free to change the Presentation Name, Internal Name, Kind, and Display On fields.
Once you’re finished, make sure to click the blue ‘Update’ button at the bottom of the page.
