You can manually create and add individual specifications for your products or use our Imports tool to bulk import specifications. 

Specifications are displayed in the Specifications tab of product pages in an online store. These allow users to select a specification (such as 5" screen size) and then see only products with that specification.

You can upload specifications or apply specifications to specific products by importing product specifications.
