Products Overview

Storefront Management allows you to add products to your on-line catalog using an easy-to use form.  It also allows you to modify existing products, add product options (e.g. color and size), add or edit product categories, and more.

Before you start adding product information to your on-line catalog, it is a good idea to get the product information ready. Here is a list of the things that you can add to your product catalog, along with some comments related to their formats.

• Product name, SKU, and a description
  The description field supports HTML tags, so you can use the product description that you have already used in another Web page by copying and pasting the HTML code.  If you don�t have a formatted product description, just use plain text and you can format it using the Rich Text Editing functions.

• Pricing Information
  You can set three prices for each product - list price, retail price, and wholesale price.  The only one required is the retail price, which may or may not coincide with the list price.  If the retail and list price do not match, the store will show the message �you save $xxx�.  The system also allows you to record the cost of each product.

• Product Images
  You can have two images for each product:
  Thumbnail is the small image that typically appears on all pages that display more than one product (e.g., search pages, etc.).  The size of this image must be 100 x 100n pixels or less.  The supported formats are JPEG and GIF, which are the standard graphic formats acceptable for the Internet.
  General Image is the image that is displayed on the product details page.  The size of this image must be 200 x 200 pixels or less.  The supported formats are JPEG and GIF.

• Product Categories
  If your products are organized in categories, you can add them to the catalog linked to categories and subcategories.  Storefront Management supports multiple subcategories, such as Books / Youth / Mysteries, where Mysteries is a subcategory of Youth, which is a subcategory of Books.  You can also define an image for each category and root category to make listings more attractive.

• Product Options
  You can specify the sizes, colors, etc. of products if applicable.  These are called product options.
