Understanding product specifications
Purpose and scope

This feature guide describes the feature and gives you more information on how to configure and use it.
Introducing terms and concepts used in this article
Term | Definition |
|---|---|
Product | an item for sale in the product catalogue. |
Product code | (SKU), the unique code for the product. |
Product specification | contains product technical information, such as colour, size, weight, dimensions and so on, of a product. A typical product specification includes data that would appear on a product data sheet. Typically, it is displayed either as a tab or section on the product details page or screen. |
How it fits together
A product specification contains the technical information (such as colour, size, weight, dimensions) of a product. Once the product specification feature is enabled, and the technical product information imported, your customers can see it on your WebShop.
Our import / export spreadsheet feature allows you to upload the technical product information. Changes are applied immediately, with a tab visible on the detailed product screen in WebShop. Typically, the specification is displayed as a table of attributes (labels) and values (data).
