Shopify category attributes for Water Bottles

In Shopify's standard product taxonomy, Water Bottles sits at Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Food & Beverage Carriers > Water Bottles. Once a product has this category, Shopify shows the attributes below in the product editor. Filled attributes are structured facts — AI shopping assistants and Shopify's own search and filters can use them to match a shopper's question without guessing from your text.

How to fill them

1. Open the product in Shopify admin → Category → choose Water Bottles (or a more specific one).
2. The category's attributes appear below it. Pick values that are true for the product — for example, the colors you actually sell.
3. Only fill what you know. An empty attribute is better than a wrong one.

Many attributes are already in your store in another form: your variant options ("Color: Black, Olive") or words in your title and description ("100% cotton"). Listproof reads those and suggests the matching attribute values for you to approve — it never fills an attribute that isn't supported by your own product details.
