You can now configure and use Product Attributes for Products. This feature is currently available in public beta. You can manage Attributes that are common to all variants in one central location at the Product level, instead of using the sameforall constraint. This helps reduce the size of API response payloads, thereby improving data storage efficiency and enhancing performance.

With this release, we have updated the following Attribute-related terminologies to improve clarity:

  • Product Attributes: to refer to Attributes defined at the Product level.
  • Variant Attributes: to refer to Attributes defined at the Variant level. They were previously known as "Product Attributes."

Product Attributes are supported across the following resources and features:

  • Product Types, Products, Product Projections, Product Search
  • Product Tailoring, Product Discounts
  • Carts, Orders, Quotes, Shopping Lists
  • Product Draft Import, Product Type Import, and Order Import in the Import API
