Combinations import (generate combinations from attribute values) method

SyncMaster service for PrestaShop allows importing combinations in three different ways. This article will be described generate combinations from the attribute values method.

If you have a lot of combinations of your product, you can generate it from your attribute values.


For example, if you have some products that have all possible combinations with such attributes as:
