Product properties

You can apply product properties to your products, as a way of letting your customers know more about how your products are produced and what their characteristics are. Current product properties that can be applied include:

There are two ways to assign properties to your products:

1) You can assign a property to an enterprise, so that all products belonging to that enterprise will carry this property (unless it’s manually removed, which is covered in the “Inherited Properties” section below).

2) You can assign properties to particular products, on an individual basis.

Assigning a property to an enterprise

When you assign a property to an enterprise, all products belonging to that enterprise will, by default, carry that product property. For instance, if all of your products are ‘Certified Organic’, you can assign this property to your enterprise, to save you from needing to manually apply this property to every product. If a property only applies to a few of your products, it’s better to apply it to the product, instead of the enterprise (instructions below).

You can access enterprise properties in your Enterprise Settings: in your Admin dashboard go to Enterprises -> Settings -> Properties

Next, there are 2 fields when applying an enterprise property:

Property Name: You can select a pre-defined product property from the drop-down list. This is the name of the property that your products will be tagged with, and which customers will be able to filter for in your shop.

Description: You can add a small description to give more information about your label. For example you may wish to add a certificate number.

Assigning a property to a product

To assign a property to a single product, rather than an enterprise’s entire product range, click on Products on the main horizontal menu, and then edit an existing product (you cannot apply a product property when you are first creating a product).

To edit a product, click on 'Edit' under 'Actions' in the right hand column.

Once editing the product you can add or change its properties by selecting 'Product Properties' from the right hand menu.

You can apply multiple product properties by clicking “+ Add Product Properties“

Inherited Properties

As discussed above, when an enterprise is assigned a property, all products belonging to that enterprise will ‘inherit’ this property. However, it is possible to override this automatic inheritance.

When editing a product’s properties you will see a checkbox titled “Inherit properties from (Enterprise Name)(Unless Overridden Above)”. By default, when an enterprise has a property, this box will be checked for all products belonging to the enterprise. Unchecking this box will remove any enterprise properties that have been inherited.
