Show in your store

Sachmerkmale appear in your store through an app block – no code required. You place it in the theme editor on the product page; it shows the product's attributes per variant as a "technical data" table.

The Sachmerkmale block on a product page in the storefront

Per-variant display

The block first shows the product's attributes and updates automatically as soon as the customer selects a variant: variant values override product values. How the effective values are composed is explained in the Product preview.

Display and accessibility

  • Only active attributes are shown; inactive ones stay hidden.
  • The block inherits your theme's font and width and is responsive.
  • A simple baseline rendering is already included in the page HTML (good for search engines and in case JavaScript doesn't load) and is replaced by the per-variant view once loaded.

Prerequisite

For the block to show content, the product must have assigned, active attributes. Load them beforehand via Import or synchronize them through the ERP sync.
