You can add product specifications to the product details page using the Product specifications content element.

Separate Product Attribute Values

When you create product attributes in the ERP system, you can enter several product attribute values in the same field. Sana Commerce Cloud allows to split product attribute values and show each value separately or together. For example, you create the attribute Color with the values Black and White in your ERP system and you use it for product filtering.

Then, if splitting of product attribute values is enabled, each color will be shown separately in the webstore filters.

For more information, see Product Filtering.

To split product attribute values, in the settings of the Product import scheduled task, you need to enable the Split product attributes based on separator option. Also, enter the separator that is used in your ERP system to specify multiple attribute values.

As for product specifications, they are always shown in one line and cannot be separated. But, depending on whether splitting of attribute values is enabled or disabled, the product specifications will be presented differently in the webstore.

In this way, if splitting of product attribute values is enabled and the separator entered in the settings of Product import task and the separator used for attribute values in the ERP system match, then product specifications will be shown in one line separated by commas in the webstore. In case splitting of product attribute values is disabled, then product specifications will be shown in one line separated by the same separator which is used in your ERP system.
