# Attributes

Attributes refer to the characteristics or qualities that describe a specific product being sold online. These attributes can include various features such as material, weight, dimensions, brand, model number, and more. Product attributes provide detailed information about the product to customers, helping them make informed purchase decisions. In addition, product attributes can impact search engine optimization (SEO), making it easier for products to appear in relevant search results.

Attributes can be used as an additional filter option on filter pages, thus helping users to narrow down the products to better help them find the products they are looking for.<br>
