Drupal Commerce 2: How to set up product attributes

Drupal Commerce 2: How to set up product attributes

In this five-part Acro Commerce Tech Talk video series, we use our Urban Hipster Commerce 2 demo site to show you how to set up a new product in Drupal Commerce 2, from start to finish. This is the first video in the series, How to set up Product Attributes.

If you're creating a whole new product type from scratch, the first thing you want to do is set up any product attributes that your product needs. For example, a shirt product type may have a number of sizes (small, medium, large) and colours available to choose from. Size and colour are both product attributes. As a site administrator, you'll use the attributes to configure your product variations. As a customer, you'll use the attributes to pick the exact product that you want to purchase.

It's important to note that this video was recorded before the official 2.0 release of Drupal Commerce and so you may see a few small differences between this video and the official release now available.
