How to Create Custom Fields for Products

Creating custom fields for products in CS-Cart allows you to add specific attributes or information to your products beyond the standard options. Here's how you can do it:

1. Access Admin Panel:
   • Log in to your CS-Cart admin panel.
2. Navigate to Product Features:
   • Look for the "Products" section. This is usually found in the main menu or sidebar.
   • Click on it to access the product management options.
3. Create a New Product Feature:
   • In the product management section, find an option like "Product Features" or "Product Features & Options".
   • Click on it to view and manage product features.
4. Add a New Feature:
   • Look for a button or link to add a new product feature.
   • Provide a name for the feature (e.g., "Size", "Material", etc.) and configure any additional settings.
5. Configure Feature Settings:
   • Depending on the type of feature you're creating, you may need to configure settings like input type (e.g., text field, dropdown, checkbox), whether the field is required, etc.
6. Create Variants (If Applicable):
   • If your feature has predefined options (e.g., sizes like Small, Medium, or Large), you can add them as variants within the feature.
7. Apply Feature to Products:
   • Once the feature is created, you can apply it to specific products.
   • Edit or create a product, and in the product details, look for a section related to product features.
   • Add the relevant features to the product.
8. Fill in Feature Values:
   • For each product where you've applied the feature, enter the corresponding values. For example, if the feature is "Size", you'll enter the size for each product.
9. Save Changes:
   • Save the changes to the product.
10. View Product Details with Custom Fields:
    • Go to your storefront and view a product with custom fields applied. You should see the additional information you've added.
11. Edit or Remove Custom Fields (Optional):
    • If you need to make changes to a custom field, you can go back to the product features section and edit the feature or its variants.

Keep in mind that the specific steps and options may vary depending on the version of CS-Cart you're using. Always refer to the official CS-Cart documentation or support resources for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
