We can product attribute along with the products. When we sell T-shirts then it has so many colours and sizes. If now, sizes, colours are added with every T-shirts then it is very boring. For solving this problem, we can add attribute. When the configuration of the attribute is completed, then the customers can buy the products along with attributes.
