Categories

Log into your admin

• Add a category to your catalog
  • Go to ‘Catalog’-->'Categories/Products’
  • Click the ‘New Category’ button.
  • Enter a name for the category
  • The description is optional. You can create detailed descriptions with all the same formatting and styles as a Microsoft Word document (bold, italics, font styles, colors, tables, images, etc.) See ‘FCK_Editor’ in your instructions package.
  • Select and upload an image for the category.  The category image should be something small, like a thumbnail image, usually a sample product that will be included in this category. Category image sizes are set under ‘Configuration’-->’Images’-->’Category Icon’  (for the main categories), ‘Sub-Category’ for subcategories.
  • Set the sort order for this category. If no sort order is entered, categories will be displayed alphabetically.
  • Click ‘Save’.
  • You can enter unlimited categories and subcategories.
  • It is recommended that you do not enter products and subcategories at the same level as this makes those subcategories hard to find for the customers. If a category has subcategories, all products in the category should be within a subcategory.
• Manufacturers is set up the same way as Categories under ‘Manufacturers'.
