Chapter 3. Categories and Attributes

Now that you have already done the basic configuration of your store, it's time to start thinking about products. Magento has everything you could wish for built-in. But the extended possibilities also mean that you need to carefully plan and execute your product catalog. Therefore, we're using multiple chapters to explain Magento's product functions.

This chapter will cover:

  • Creating the right product settings for your store
  • Understanding the way Magento handles products
  • Setting up your own product attributes and attribute sets
  • Working with categories to create logical structures for your products
