Adding Custom Product Fields

Hi there ,
I have a simple file perl DB of about 3000 antique bank notes  with the following Fields

CODE DENOMINATION  TITLE  CONDITION  PRICE

How difficult would it be to add the addional fields DENOMINATION ( a short string <20 chars)  and
CONDITION ( 10 chars or less) to the nopCommerce DB Product table and the associated code ?

Many Thx

You can use specification attributes for that, and you have the advantage that they can be use for filtering. If you the specifications values cannot be predefined then check:

HI Eduardo,
  have got into nopcommerce a little bit more.

I have about 3000 bank notes in about 120 countries

What are the pros and cons of using  multiple Product Variants
A) Using Multiple Product Variants for notes in each country.
     i.e Have a single Product for each country and say about 100 ProductVariants

b)  Use product Categories and  each note in a Product with a single Variant ?  

If I use option A then it would be more easy to import my data -
but am I creating other problems ?

Many thx

Isuggest option B because you have more flexibility showing each banknote as a single product such as multiple images, related products, specifications (i.e. year, condition, etc.) cross selling, showing them in various categories besides as country (i.e. rare, sale, etc.) featured product and others, all of which are not available for Product Variants.

Thank you for your advice
out of interest -
if you have a site you maintain could you post the URL ?
thx
