Product Properties

Product attributes are the characteristics of a product that describe its specific features.
Product properties in ShopCtrl are integrated with your sales channels and mostly are imported and synchronized from your online shops. Product properties are also used internally to define a product, filter, perform bulk operations on orders, and in various shipping settings.

Import and export of product properties is part of the product Import/Export functionality of the synchronization module you are using.
