Magento has a flexible system to work with products. When you sell, for example, a board game or a computer, the specifications of each product are different. For a board game, information such as age and duration is relevant. For a computer, a lot of technical specifications are relevant, such as the CPU power, disc size, and so on.
To cover this, Magento 2 comes with a system called product templates, which can be compared with attribute sets in Magento 1.
A product template is a specification of product attributes that you can assign to products.
In the backend, we will use the pages Stores | Attributes | Product and Stores | Attributes | Attribute Set.
We will create a newproduct
attribute and a new product template (such as an attribute set) that we can use in new products.
