We recommend using global attributes to enhance WooCommerce features.

Even though we recommend using a global attribute products, It is not always possible to have attributes prepared for some unique types of products. We have pointed out some cases when you should consider custom attributes over global,

  1. If you are not going to use the same variation for multiple products
  2. If you do not wish to use the filters function
  3. If you have a very large number of variations for every product
  4. If you have different variations for every products.
