Attribute Set

One feature of the Tinx connector is the ability to create and add attributes to products. Attributes are often used to describe the product’s characteristics such as size, color, etc.

An attribute set is a list of certain individual product attributes. It is used during the creation of new products and allows you to add all import product information in one step. Every attribute set is basically a combination of specific attributes.
