Assign product attributes to abstract products

This document describes how to assign product attributes to abstract products in the Back Office.

2. Create the abstract product to assign the product attributes to. For instructions, see creating an abstract product.

3. To start working with products, go to Catalog > Products.

Review the reference information before you start, or look up the necessary information as you go through the process.
