Configuring Product Attributes

You can add multiple attributes to your products. An attribute is a product variation. For example, the same product can have a different color or a different size. In PrestaShop, we call that a color or size attribute.

...

Choose the HTML color or upload a photo from your computer (if you’re displaying textures instead of colors, for example). The HTML colors will then be replaced by the photo of the texture.

Managing Quantity Discounts

You have the possibility to use a system that changes the total price of a sale depending on the quantity of products your customer buys. For this option, click on tab number 3 of the product file, and the “Prices” table will appear.

Adding Product Combinations

...

Manual method

Adding different variations to your product takes a few steps. Before proceeding, you must have already created the necessary groups of attributes and the attributes themselves. Once this is done, click on tab number 4 “Combinations ” and the following form will appear

...

*Note: In this example, an attribute has been associated: color. If you wish to add several attributes, you just need to add one attribute and then a second attribute. When you click “Add”, the two attributes will be added. *

...

Advanced method

If you have too many different products or varieties you can use the “Product Combinations
Generator.” This function allows you to automatically generate all of the variations and possibilities.

...

On the right side of this page is your groups of attributes. Select the varieties by clicking on their name. If you'd like to select several of them at the same time, the CTRL key while clicking. Then click on “Add”.
For example, in the screenshot above, you can select the attributes "Blue", "Green" and "32 Go".

Once the varieties have been selected, insert the quantity of each product in the "Quantity" field at the top. Be careful, it needs to be the same for every combination. For instance, 200 products in each combination = 2 colors * 1 disk size * 200 = 400 products in all.
You may add a reference if it serves your administrative needs.
Click the "Generate" button, and tables appear below for each combination, enabling you to edit their possible specific prices.

Finally, the combination generator helps you save some time when you have numerous attributes to assemble, such as sizes and materials. It automatically creates all of the possible associations, which then appear under the product file's tab named “Combinations.”

If you don’t want to have generated combinations, you can delete or modify them.

Configuring Product Features

The fifth tab, named "Features" is where you specify your products’ features (i.e. weight, material, country of origin, etc.). When you create features and values (i.e. wool knit and micro-fiber materials), you assign them to the products when it is appropriate. This means that you do not have to fill out the features fields for each of your products but instead simply fill in the necessary values and apply them later. However, be aware that contrary to the combinations, these values do not change, and are valid for the general product.

Create a feature

To create a feature as well as its values click on the tab under Catalog that is labeled “Features”. Click on “Add a Feature” for example, to add the types of headphones provided with a music player.

Give a name to this news feature, and click "Save".

Create a value

To add a value to the feature, either go back to the previous page, or go the the "Features" sub-ab of the "Catalog" tab.

...

In the drop-down menu, choose the feature to which you would like to add a value, enter its contents, and click Save.

Assign a value and feature to a product

Finally, go back to the “Features” tab for your product (not the Catalog/Features sub-tab!) and choose the feature you want to add from the drop-down menu. Click on “update features.”

...

If a feature does not have any value assigned to it, then it will not appear in the store.

Enter a Customized Value

If you want to indicate a value that has not been configured beforehand, you can add it directly in the “Customized” field
