1. How can I create a
product?
Creating a product is very simple. Go to Products
>>New>> Product, and put in the descriptions,
add the images and all the other details. For
example: if you create the product “Blue shirt”, add it to the “Men’s shirts” category.
2. How can I add an image
of a product?
You can do this while you actually create
the product (see “How to create a product”), or add it at a later stage, after
creating the product.
Go to Products >> Products, and select
the product for which you wish to add the image. Go to “Images” and upload the archive
by using the “Upload image” option.
3. Can I add more than
one image for the same product?
If you have multiple images for the same product
you can upload them, and even choose where to display them:
List view: This image will be displayed in
the list of products. The list of
products appears to show the products of a
category or in search results.
Magnified view: The image appears in a new window
with a maximum size of 800x600 px, when the user clicks on the image of the product in the Product
Detail page.
Detail page: The image is displayed on the
product detail page and on the initial page. It can be used in a list of images or in a presentation with other
images in a gallery/presentation.
View for promotional products: This image is
displayed through the “Promotional products” page element.
4. Is it possible to show
the product images in Cover Flow view (album)?
Cover flow is a dynamic way to display products
that’s of great visual impact. To display the products in Cover flow view you
need to click on Content/ Categories >> Datasheet view. Look for the page
where the products are shown and go to Layout
>> Products>> Cover flow. Bear in mind that this option only works
if you upload images of more than two different products.
5. Can I show stock levels
of specific products in my online shop?
Yes you can. When you create a new product
from Products >> New >> Product >> Stock and delivery period,
it is possible to select the stock level. By entering these details, customers
will be able to see them through a
colour bar:
– Green: product is available.
– Yellow: low stock levels.
– Red: product is out-of-stock.
This small bar will adjust automatically
when the stock levels rise or fall. If a
product is not available, a message will
inform the customer.
6. Is it possible to
import (Upload) data on products found in the shop or export the data from the
shop?
Yes. If the data on the products is in a
format allowed by Excel (CSV in format, divided by commas), it is possible to use the import tool to upload all
the data on the shop easily and quickly.
It’s also possible to upload galleries of images, forums or guestbooks. If you
need more details on this tool, see our tutorial video: “Importing and Exporting
Data”, and our FAQs on this subject.
