Attributes are important for any commerce business to optimize their sales and drive conversion rate. Managing attributes, however, can be a chore in IBM CMC (Commerce Management Center). Smart Merchandiser provides the visual tooling for Merchandisers to assign and manage attributes. Let’s go through a few of these tools and how they can help brands build online sales!
Point and Click to Quickly Assign Attributes!
Smart Merchandiser makes it quick and simple to assign attributes to products. Just go into the attributes tab and select or deselect whichever attribute you wish to assign to each product. This makes it simple to quickly add attributes like “Best Seller” or “Hot and New” to products quickly. With Linked Categories, these changes will also be reflected on any products in categories linked to the one you were working on.
Attribute Value Sequencing by Drag-and-Drop
When you want to reorder attributes for easier management, Smart Merchandiser has sequencing features that make reordering easy. Click and drag the attribute you want higher or lower and move it up or down, then hit save to resequence. If you want to assign certain colors or certain sizes, move them to the top of the list for easier access, or if an attribute is mostly outdated, move it down to the bottom to save until you need it later.
Easy Facet Management
Smart Merchandiser also allows you to manage and sequence facets. Reorder, enable, and/or disable whichever facets you want on your attribute management tab to make managing them as straightforward as possible. Use your facets then to target meaningful product results when searching and filtering.
Save Time with Bulk Updates!
With Smart Merchandiser’s filter attributes feature, you can filter out products with certain attributes, then bulk update all of those products’ attributes at once. Assigning and removing attributes with Smart Merchandiser is quick and simple, even for large groups of products.

Our customers have asked for it and we are happy to say that we will soon have attribute sorting enabled, allowing users to automatically sequence their products based on attributes!
