# M2E Catalog Custom Attributes for Quantity Per Pack

Using M2E Catalog custom attributes is a smart way to handle Quantity Per Pack across your TikTok Shop listings, especially if you’re working with variations. These attributes help you stay organized and consistent, without affecting your storefront.

Let’s walk through the process of creating and assigning the custom Quantity Per Pack attribute to your products.

## Why use custom attributes

M2E Catalog custom attributes are:

- Stored only inside your M2E Catalog
- Completely separate from your online store
- Reusable across *Simple* and *Variational* listings
- Ideal for assigning different values to each variation

### Step 5. Assign attributes and list your products

1. Open a product card in the **Catalog** tab.
2. Go to the **Attributes** section.
3. Make sure to set the following attributes:
   - **Quantity Per Pack**
   - **Unit Type**
   - **Base Unit Count**

Once these three values are assigned, you’re ready to [list the product on TikTok Shop](https://docs.m2ecloud.com/docs/tiktok-shop-user-guide/).

If the attributes are filled in correctly, TikTok Shop will automatically calculate and show the base unit price on your product page.
