## What are Attributes?
Often, different product groups assigned to the same category have nuanced differences. **Attributes** help solve this problem by describing these differences once the category defines a product group. For example, a category titled "pants," which involves products of different materials and age ranges, would be assigned the attributes of denim and youth sizes.

## Why use Attributes?
Attributes primarily provide filtering options to users on your website when searching for products. When viewing a category page or browsing search results, users will see any attributes showing products grouped by type, allowing them to select these to narrow their results. For example, a site user searching for "casual pants" might see material filters for denim, polyester, and cotton.
Effectively utilizing attributes will enhance your customers' shopping experience, allowing them to find what they are looking for and, as a result, increase sales.
