1. Create Product Attribute
Go to Catalog > Attributes > Product attributes and click Add New to create a new attribute if it doesn’t already exist.
...
Define a Name for the attribute.
Description can be used to display text above the attribute values on the PDP when the attribute is saved to the product to be displayed in the center of the PDP.
Select Save and Continue Edit.
(Optional) Expand the Predefined values section and click Add New Value.
Specify the attribute value Name.
Check Is pre-selectedif this is the first attribute value in the list or it is the value you want to have defaulted when the Product Detail Page loads for guests.
Select Save.
Repeat for all values that will be commonly used as options for the attribute.
...
2. Add Attribute to Product
Go to Catalog > Products, find the desired product, and click Edit to open the Edit product details page.
Scroll down to the Product attributes section. (Click the + if collapsed.)
Click Add a new attribute to open the Edit product attributes page and select the attribute from the Attribute drop-down list. Examples of attributes include Start Date, Age, Number of Days, Lesson Time, Duration, Discipline, etc.
HINT: If the attribute does not exist, go to Catalog > Attributes > Product attributes to add it following the instructions in section 1 above. Then, return to this step.
...
Check Is Required if the attribute selection is necessary for mapping to the correct SKU in the POS (Product Header Code in RTP|One or DCI in Siriusware.)
| Note |
|---|
WARNING: If an Attribute is marked as “Is Required” the attribute combination table will require an attribute value to be selected from that attribute. Even if attribute combinations are already generated, when a new “Is Required” attribute is added later, adding/modifying attribute combinations will require adding the newly added attribute combination. |
| Info |
|---|
NOTE: If a product attribute is technically required for setup, but is not required for booking the right SKU (PHC in RTP|One or DCI in Siriusware), make radio button product attributes required by pre-selecting the first attribute value but leaving you can also make a Radio Button product attribute selection required by marking one of the attribute values as preselect but leave Is Required unchecked. |
Select the Control type. Only the following Control types are supported:
Drop-down list -Use this for attributes that are required, should show up in the dynamic box, and don’t require much description. (Shown above in Figure A)
Radio button list - Use this for attributes that are required, should show up next to the dynamic box, may use an icon, and may require more description. (Shown above in Figure C)
Checkboxes - Use this for add on attributes and for attributes that are not required, can be turned on and off, and may require more description.
Date picker - Use this for any date selection attributes that should be displayed in a calendar view. (Shown above in Figure B.)
Textbox - Used with Text prompts for specific features. Documentation for the specific feature will reference when Textbox should be used.
Enter a Display order if you have more than one attribute associated with the product. It controls the order in which attributes are listed on the Product Detail Page (PDP.) An entry of 0 would display that attribute at the top of the display box, 1 would show below it, and so on.
Set Enable linked attribute to True if both of the following are true for the product:
The product is a core product with attributed add ons or the product is an attributed add-on.
The attribute is added to both the add on product and the core product this add on is linked to.
| Info |
|---|
NOTE: Enable linked attribute will be checked for core products in some cases, but instructions on when and how to do this are covered in the Linked Attribute section and can be found HERE. |
Click Save and Continue Edit.
3. Add Attribute Values
Most attributes will need values added to them. A value is an option of an attribute, (e.g. if ‘Number of days’ is the attribute, ‘1-day’ is a value.) All standard attributes on both core and add-on products require the configuration of values.
If the attribute is a Control type other than Date Picker, scroll to the Values section on the Edit product details page. (Click the + if the section is collapsed.)
If the attribute added has predefined values configured within the Catalog > Attributes > Product Attributes section, these will be generated when the attribute is added to the product (Shown below.) These can be removed and changed.
...
If you would like to edit or delete predefined values, click Edit or Delete next to the value you wish to change. Either edit predefined values or add new values.
If you would like to add a new attribute value to the attribute, click Add a new value.
When adding a new value, specify the value Name
...
Check Is pre-selectedif this is the first attribute value in the list or it is the value you want to have defaulted when the Product Detail Page loads for guests.
Specify the Display orderto determine theorder in which the add-on attributes will appear.
Select an image under Picture to display an icon image next to the attribute value. Select an image that was previously uploaded with the icon title to display.
Save and repeat for all attributes on the product. Values need to be assigned for all attributes that are associated with a product except Date and AssignedTo attributes (e.g. Number of days, Discipline, Duration, and Age may all be required on a single lesson product.)
...
To generate the attribute combinations, scroll to the Attribute combinations tab under the Product attribute section on the Edit product details page.
If all of your required attributes are set up (e.g. Age and Number of Days), then you can generate attribute combinations, AND THEN you can add all other non-required and add-on attributes.
Before generating the attribute combination table, confirm that standard attributes that are added to the product have Is Requiredchecked.
| Note |
|---|
IMPORTANT: Attribute combinations should be generated before any attributes with add ons are added to the product. DO NOT click Generate all possible combinations after the add ons are added. |
| Info |
|---|
NOTE: Add on product attributes can be marked asIs Required temporarily to aid in generating attribute combinations, but Is required should be unchecked after the attribute combination table is generated. (Add On Product Configuration Only) |
Click Generate all possible combinations.
The following message box will appear asking you if you are sure you want to generate all possible combinations. If you are certain that none of your attributes with add ons are added, click Yes.
If SKUs (RTP|One PHCs or Siriusware DCIs) and/or prices are defined at the attribute combination level, there should now be a combination for every variant.
If a product is dynamically priced, only combinations that should have a price set through dynamic pricing should be in this table. If a combination that should have unique pricing is not defined in this table, it will not be able to be uniquely priced through dynamic pricing.
Click Edit next to each attribute combination.
Enter the correct RTP|One PHC or Siriusware DCI in the SKU field.
If the product is priced at the attribute combination level (and is not dynamically priced), update the Overridden price field.
Leave all other fields alone. They are not used.
Click Update. Check to be sure that all attribute combinations now show the correct SKU and Overridden price.
...

NOTE: Only core products can have conditional attribution enabled. Add on products do not support conditional attributes. |
From the Edit product details page, go to the Product attributes section. (Click the + if the section is collapsed.)
To add a conditional attribute, click Add a new attribute and set up the attribute and associated values similar to a standard attribute.
Select the attribute from the drop-down; if the attribute does not exist, first add it under Catalog > Attributes > Product attributes following the instructions in the sections above.
(Optional) Enter [Conditional] in the Text prompt field. This should be entered if a product attribute is dependent on another product attribute value being selected and the conditional attribute should be indented. (e.g. VIP Package is conditional on the selection of an Adult ticket.)
Once the attribute is saved, the Condition section will appear in the Edit product attribute page, open it and check Enable condition, and select the Attribute and Attribute Value that this attribute requires to be previously selected in order to display.
To update the pricing on the various attribute combinations that include the conditional attribute, select the Attribute combinations tab and click Generate several combinations.
Select the attribute combinations.
Review the attribute combinations that appear and click Delete for any that are not applicable.
Click Edit to enter appropriate SKUs (PHCs for RTP|One and DCIs for Siriusware) and appropriate Overridden Price for each attribute combination.
When finished, the attribute combination table should show each attribute combination with an associated SKU and Overidden Price.
In the image below, you can see an example of the conditional attribute displayed.
