In CS-Cart every feature is global. If one laptop has “Keyboard backlight: RGB, 4 zones”, that feature shows up in the feature list, in filters and on every product of the category. A year later there are hundreds of them, and finding the one you need is hard.
The add-on gives each product a second list, an individual one. It is stored in a single field and shown on the storefront next to the regular features: above them, below them or in a tab of its own. Customers see no difference.
Where they show up
- On the product page — in the Features tab or in a tab of their own. The mode is set in the add-on settings and can be changed per product.
- In product comparison — rows with the same name are merged across products.
- In feeds — the add-on provides a snippet for the feed template, for example for AB: Product Feed Export.
When a product has a global and an individual feature with the same name, the global one wins.
What they are not
Individual attributes are not used in filters. A spec that customers should filter by belongs in a global feature.
