Magento 2 Beginners Guide

Overview of this book

Do you have a good product to sell but need your start-up to sell it to your potential customers the right way? Were you unhappy with what Magento 1 had to offer and are looking forward to trying out what Magento 2 provides? If either of these questions ring a bell, then this book is for you! You'll start by getting a general understanding of what Magento is, why and how you should use it, and whether it is possible and feasible to migrate from an old web store to Magento 2. We'll introduce you to the main e-commerce concepts and basic features and let you play with them, so you can get a taste of how catalog and content management works. Following on from that, we'll show you how to tune your store up. You will learn how to get web store offers up and running, how to offer various discounts in the catalog, how to let the customers reduce the total price in the shopping cart by combining different products, and how to generate coupon codes that customers can use. Finally, we'll get serious and turn your plaything into a real web store, teaching you how to run it for real.

Preface

Attribute sets


As we saw in the preceding section, you can define new properties for the products by adding new attributes. When you create an attribute, it's not immediately available in the New Product form. For example, the Sleeve Length attribute that we created is not available yet when you edit the Red Shirt product or any other product.

Attributes are grouped by attribute sets. The attribute sets represent a list of attributes that are related to a specific product family. For example, the Sleeve Length attribute should be part of the Shirt attribute set. Therefore, that specific attribute for clothing is available only for products that are associated with the Shirt attribute set.

If you add a new attribute and you want the attribute to be available for most of the products, then you can associate it with the Default attribute set.

You can see a list of attribute sets by going to the next section in the admin panel, that is, Stores | Attributes | Attribute Sets, as shown:
