Introduction #
Custom Attributes allow merchants to classify products within a contract or order.
They are used to capture additional product-specific information, such as origin, type, or category, for operational or reporting purposes.
For example, a merchant can record the origin type of apples to distinguish products based on their source.
Why It Matters #
Custom Attributes help merchants:
-
Identify product variations beyond standard Shopify fields
-
Maintain structured product information within subscription orders
-
Support internal tracking, fulfillment, or reporting requirements
Accurate attribute data ensures consistency across orders and improves operational clarity.
