Assigning a product class groups items with shared characteristics, making inventory management easier by allowing you to apply the same attributes (e.g., size, finish, bolt pattern) to similar products.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to assign and unassign product classes to your products, both individually and in bulk.


Assigning a Product Class to a Single Product

  1. In your X-Cart Admin, go to Catalog › Products.

  2. Select the product you want to update to open its Details.

  3. Go to the Attributes tab and click Global.

  4. Click Change next to Product class.

  5. Select a class from the dropdown or New product class to create one.

  6. Click Save changes.

Once you assign a product class, all attributes associated with that class will be linked to the product. You'll see them listed right under the product class name.

To remove the product class and all related attributes from a single product:

  2. Select No Class in the dropdown menu.

  3. Click Save changes.

  4. Click Ok in the pop-up.

To remove the product class and all related attributes from multiple products in bulk:

How to Make Sure Your Product Class Works?

For a product class to work, it needs at least one configured attribute. Attributes without values won’t appear in your store.

You can create a product class without attributes and add them later. Until then, No attributes assigned will appear under the Attributes tab.
