Magento 2 product attributes are generally the properties of the Magento 2 product that help customers choose between product variations and find the best suitable option. It could be color, size, weight, material, etc.

**To learn more about creating and managing product attributes, see:**

- [Product Attributes](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/commerce-admin/catalog/product-attributes/product-attributes.html)
- [Attribute Sets](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/commerce-admin/catalog/product-attributes/create/attribute-sets.html)

**There are two types of attributes used by Magento 2:**

- **Default or system attributes** are required for a store’s proper functioning and can never be deleted. In the Stores> Attributes> Product section, you can find default attributes (including name, price, URL, SKU, descriptions, images, etc.).
- **Custom attributes** are created by the store admin. You can add any number of attributes to this section.

**There are 2 ways to add new product attributes in Magento 2:**

- When working on a **specific product edit page**
- From the **Product Attributes page**

Under **Attribute properties**, describe basic information of the product attributes Magento 2.

- **Attribute code:** the unique identifier to manage the attribute: search, import/export, get attribute ID/name/value, etc.
- **Scope:** Decide how the attribute value is displayed and edited based on a specific level: *Global ⇒ Website ⇒ Store View*
- Global: The value of the attribute is shared by all websites and store views.
- Website: The value varies per website but stays the same for multiple store views under that website.
- Store View: Tailor different values per store view, primarily based on the languages.
- Set **Unique Value** to *Yes* to prevent duplication. Recommended for ID-number fields like SKU.
- **Attributes used for the configurable products must have Catalog Input Type to be drop-down and the Global scope.**

Following are **Catalog Input Types** to define the product attributes Magento 2.

- - ***Text Field:*** A single-line field to enter text
    - ***Text Area:*** A multiple-line field to enter text directly or using WYSIWYG Editor
    - ***Text Editor:*** Add WYSIWYG Editor to any custom field
    - ***Date:*** Date & Time can be picked from the calendar or typed directly into a field
    - ***Yes/No:*** A “switch” button between two pre-defined options: Yes or No
    - ***Dropdown:*** A drop-down list to choose one option at a time
    - ***Multiple Select:*** Used to create price fields. The currency used is determined in the system configuration
    - ***Media Image:*** A media image attribute becomes an additional image type, along with Base, Small, and Thumbnail
    - ***Fixed Product Tax:*** Used to define FPT rates based on the locale requirements
    - ***Visual Swatch:*** For [configurable products](https://dolphinwebsolution.com/shop/configurable-products-preselect-for-magento.html), the corresponding image is shown per swatch on visual option (e.g color)
    - ***Text Swatch:*** For configurable products, the corresponding image is shown per swatch on text option (e.g size)
