Configuring OsCommerce - OsCommerce Configuring Product Attributes

Step 1

Open Admin → Catalog → Product attributes

Step 2

Product Options
Under "Product Options" at the top left an "Option Name" needs to be setup. Using shirts in the example above there would be at least 2 "Option Names" called Color and Size.

Step 3

Option Values
Next, the "Option Values" (under "Option Values" at the top right) needs to be added for each "Option Name". In the dropdown box you have Color setup as an "Option Name" so make sure Color is chosen. Then, to the right of that box is a blank box where you type in one of your colors. Do this for each color and then do this again for each size. Make sure you associate an "Option Value" (red, white, blue) with an "Option Name" (color, size, etc.).

Step 4

Products Attributes
Now, you are ready to start adding options to your products.
Under the "Products Attributes" section at the bottom there is a drop down box listing of all the products that have been created in the store. Choose one and follow across the dropdown boxes to the right. The next box is the "Option Names", then the "Option Values", and then the price box. If the price stays the same on each attribute then leave this box blank. If the price goes up or down on each attribute then put an amount from the product "base price" and put a "plus" or "minus" sign in the next box.

For Example:
size = medium = 10.00 (this is the regular price of the product so no need to put a price in the "price box".
size = small = 8.00 (put 2.00 - (this is with a "minus" sign from the base price of the product price of .00)
size = large = 12.00 (put 2.00 + (this is with a "plus" sign from the base price of the product price of .00)
