How to create product Brands

Rey’s Brands module taxonomy relies on WooCommerce’s Attributes. Before starting, please make sure to access the backend, Rey Theme > Module Manager and make sure the Brands module is enabled.

How to set it up?

Please follow the steps below to set it up:

1. Access Products > Attributes and create a new Attribute which will be used for the brands/manufacturers .

Make sure to tick the “Enable Archives” option to make the brands publicly accessible such as mystore.com/brands/my_brand/ and list its products.

2. Open Settings › WooCommerce › Features › Brands and make sure you choose the attribute you just created.

3. Inside this newly Brands attribute add as many brands (item/terms) as you want.

4. To relate brands with products, edit or create new products and locate the Product Data box and click on Attributes. Here you can choose from the select list the Brand attribute.

If you want the brand to be shown in the “Specifications” block in the product page, you can check the “Visible on the product page” checkbox.

How to use WooCommerce’s Brands module?

Starting with WooCommerce v9.6, a built-in Brands module was introduced. To avoid conflicts it’s disabled by Rey.

If you want to enable it, simply disable Rey’s Brands module (in Module manager).

Or an alternative is to add this line: define('REY_USE_WC_BRANDS', true); into wp-config.php (somewhere next to the WP_DEBUG constant).
