Product name by characteristics

Product Name by Characteristics

The add-on automatically builds a clear product name from selected features, an item code, and the saved original name. It helps keep a consistent catalog format without renaming every item manually.

What it is for

The add-on is useful for stores with large catalogs, where the product name should include the size, color, material, model, item code, or other important parameters. The administrator marks the required features and sets their order, and the add-on builds the name when the product is saved or imported.

This reduces manual errors, speeds up catalog maintenance, and makes product cards more informative for customers and search engines.

Key features

• automatic product name generation from marked features;
• adding an item code — the product code or the manufacturer code — to a configured position in the name;
• setting the order of features and the item code by numeric positions, with values output in ascending order;
• a prefix and a postfix before and after a feature value, configured separately for each language;
• using the SEO variant of a feature value when one is set;
• skipping features that are used by a variation group;
• saving the original product name and restoring it — for a single product or in bulk;
• using the old name or the exchange name as the base for the new name;
• generating the name immediately after product import;
• locking manual editing of the Product name field and setting a default value for new products.

How it works

A settings block appears on the feature editing page: use the feature in the product name, set its position, and add a prefix or postfix. When a product is saved, the add-on collects the marked features, sorts them by position, and writes the resulting string into the product name.

With extra settings enabled, the add-on also adds the item code, stores the original product name in a backup field, uses the exchange name, or generates the name after import. The previous name can be restored for a single product or for all products that have a saved old name.
