Product Attributes must be set up individually for each product. They are a great way to offer mutliple options to a customer without needing to create many separate but similar products to choose from. There are also many contributions available that make entry of product attributes in different ways, especially when there are many attributes to add to different products. After an attribute has been set up as described below, it needs to be added to the product in the Catalog>Products listing, under the Attributes tab for that product.



For Example:
size = medium = 10.00 (this is the regular price of the product so no need to put a price in the "price box".
size = small = 8.00 (put 2.00 - (this is $2 with a "minus" sign from the base price of the product price of $10.00)
size = large = 12.00 (put 2.00 + (this is $2 with a "plus" sign from the base price of the product price of $10.00)
