PrestaShop feature: product features in practice

PrestaShop features are the product information layer that does not feed into combinations. Material, origin, certification, dimensions, compatibility: data that enriches the listing and improves purchase decisions.

Features vs attributes: the simple rule

A feature answers: “What describes this product?” without creating a variant.
An attribute answers: “Which version of this product do you want?” and generates combinations with their own stock/price.

• Material → feature (organic cotton)
• Color → attribute (blue, red, black)
• Country of manufacture → feature (France)
• Size → attribute (S, M, L)

Creating a PrestaShop feature

Catalog → Attributes & Features → Features tab → Add. First create the feature (name, position, filter display), then its predefined values. On a product listing, you choose the value or enter a custom one.

Features and PrestaShop SEO

Features are displayed in an HTML table on the product page. This content is indexed by Google and can rank on long-tail queries (“organic cotton t-shirt made in France”). Two best practices:

1. Name features explicitly (“Main material” rather than “Mat.”)
2. Use consistent values across the catalog (“Organic cotton” everywhere, not sometimes “Biological cotton”)

Conclusion

PrestaShop features are a simple but often underused tool. Properly leveraged, they enrich SEO, improve search filters and facilitate purchase decisions. Seegea makes them editable in bulk from a tabular grid.
