Attributes
In X-Cart, attributes are technical characteristics that describe a product in more detail and support various business and regulatory needs. Some attributes are used to help customers filter and find items compatible with their vehicle (such as by rim diameter, bolt circle, or section width). Others ensure compliance with legal requirements, inform customers, or support operational processes (for example, CARB-related attributes are used to properly label products and may restrict their availability for sale in certain regions). Attributes can be imported as part of the product data.
