Categories and attributes
Organise your products in a tree of categories, and describe them with attributes such as Colour or Material for filters and variations.
Categories
Categories go up to three levels deep: Indoor > Sofas > Corner sofas. A product can be in several categories.
- Add: type a name (or several, separated by commas) and choose where it goes.
- Order: the arrows move a category up or down among the ones next to it.
- Edit: name, address, where it sits in the tree, a photo, an intro shown above the products, a notice (e.g. "Stock is indicative: call us before you come") and its title and description in Google.
- Delete: the categories under it move up one level. Products stay in the catalogue and in their other categories.
Each category has its own page on your site, e.g. /c/indoor/sofas.
Attributes
Attributes are properties your products share: Colour, Material, Size, Legs... Each has a list of values.
- Kind: Text, or Colour. Colour values get a swatch: pick a colour, or a photo (a fabric, a wood).
- Filter: on means visitors can filter on it.
- Add values one by one or several at once, separated by commas. Rename them in place and choose Save.
- The number next to a value tells how many products use it.
Deleting a value takes it off every product, and variations that used it lose it. Deleting an attribute does the same for all its values.
Products use the values for the filters and for their variations.
