Catalog Attributes are a powerful way to customize Lead Commerce to your exact needs. Many times, as a business begins to use a software product, they want to make changes to that product and usually they have to consult a web programmer or developer to add new data fields, change text or labels, etc.
Lead Commerce puts that power into the end users hands. With attributes, you can create new text areas, drop down menus, checkboxes and more without any programming knowledge what-so-ever.
Below are the specific sections of the Catalog Attributes detail sections:
