How to Add Custom Attributes to Subscription Contracts
2 min readIntroduction
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.
