# What are Specifications, and how are they different from variant attributes?

Specifications are the additional descriptive details you show to customers about an item, such as material, dimensions, or care instructions. They help customers understand the product better and can influence their purchasing decision.

Variant attributes, on the other hand, are the specific characteristics that define the different versions of a product that a customer can choose from, such as color, size, or style. These attributes are used to create item variants, allowing customers to select the exact version of the product they want to purchase.

Specifications are generally static information that applies to the product as a whole, while variant attributes are dynamic options that change based on customer selection.
