Products
The products page in the admin area lists all of your
products. Each product will have it’s own product
page which you can view by clicking on the product
name.
Product Pages:
A product page is a page dedicated to displaying
just one particular product and is usually linked to
automatically from a category page that has been
set up to list products although you can also link to
a product page manually from anywhere. If a
particular product has related products selected
then these may be listed on this page also. You can
change how related products are displayed on a
product page by modifying system category 2
(Related Products).
Adding New Products
New products can be added by clicking the Add link
beside Products in the admin menu. For more
information on this see the add/modify product
help section.
Product Sort-Order
You can re-arrange the sort-order for products in
each category. To do this first select a category from
the category drop down. Once you do this you
should see Up - Down - Top links to move each
product up or down or straight to the top. Products
to the top will be listed first in the selected website
category.
Searching Products
You can use the search box to search for a
particular product. You can also use the category
drop down to list only products that are in a
particular category.
Modifying a Product
To modify a product click on the modify link beside
the product name. For more information on this
see the add/modify product help section.
Duplicating a Product
To duplicate a product click on the modify link
beside the product you want to duplicate. At the
top of the add/modify product page click on the
duplicate product link. This will create an exact copy
of the product with a new product id. The new
product will also be set to out of stock
automatically.
Exporting Products
You can export product data to a csv file which you
can download to your computer. If you first select a
category from the drop down or do a search for
particular products you can also export just these
products.
When opening the exported csv file in your
spreadsheet program use the pipe character as
separator (usually it defaults to comma). Once it is
open set all cells to text and save in your
spreadsheet programs native format so you can
more easily update and work on it.
Deleting Products
To delete products select the check-boxes beside
the products you want to delete and click the delete
selected button. If you delete a product remember
to remove or update any links that you have
manually created to it. If you think you might want
to use the product again in the future it might be
better to modify the product and change it’s status
to out of stock instead of deleting it permanently.
