Shopify product data checklist for bags
The complete product data checklist for selling bags on Shopify — required attributes, title and SEO limits, and image rules in one page.
What attributes does Shopify require for bags?
Shopify requires 4 attributes for bags: Bag style, Gender, Material composition, Primary color.
Shopify itself won't block a product without these — your conversion rate and search filters will. These attributes are what buyers filter and search by for bags.
| Attribute | Type | Accepted values |
|---|---|---|
| Bag style | enum | tote, crossbody, shoulder, clutch, backpack, satchel, hobo, bucket, duffle, weekender, belt bag, mini bag, laptop bag |
| Gender | enum | women, men, unisex |
| Material composition | composition | free text |
| Primary color | string | free text |
