Is there any way of storing numerical data for your products? For example, let's say I'm selling ropes. Some ropes are 10 feet, some are 5 feet, some are 8 feet, some are 21 feet, 22 feet, so on and so forth.
Is there any way (or any addon) that allows me to take my product and create a property called Length that takes numbers like 5, 8, 21, 22, etc.?
The solution is not to enter in the lengths of my hoses as types. This treats the length data (e.g. 50) as a string and not as an integer/double, etc. In result, you would not be able to sort by length of hose, since a length of 50 would just be interpreted as a word.
The only compromise solution I've thought up so far is to create categories that are ranges (e.g. 10 - 50ft) and then add my products into these categories respectively. But that is very impractical and, with the products I'm actually selling, not very feasible because there are multiple numerical-type properties that matter.
Thanks. I am willing to buy an addon that solves this problem for me.
