Name

The value specified in this field is displayed in any menus this page is assigned to.

If no values is set in the H1 Override field in the Meta tab, it will also be displayed in the H1 tag

URL This value is automatically generated by the system so you should leave this blank unless you wish to specify your own URLs. The value here is the URL used to visit the page you're editing. For example https://my-website-address.co.uk/my-page-url
Content

The description field is a free format text area where you can outline as much information as possible about the product you sell.

You can use the editor, which has similar tools to Microsoft Word, to assist you in formatting in bold or italic for example.

Important: As this page may contain HTML that structures the page's layout, it is important that you make a copy of the page source before making any changes.

You can do this by performing the following steps:

  1. Click View > Source Code
  2. Copy the content of the source code pop-up
  3. Paste this HTML into Notepad or something similiar
  4. If you accidentally break anything, you can then use this back-up to restore the page to how it was before

Please Note: If you fail to back-up this content and require us to restore from an system back-up, a charge will apply

This value is also displayed on the individual product page as the title unless an H1 override is specified in the Meta Content tab.
URL This value is automatically generated by the system so you should leave this blank unless you wish to specify your own URLs. The value here is the URL used to visit the product you're adding / editing. For example https://my-website-address.co.uk/my-product-url
Brand

Description

The description field is a free format text area where you can outline as much information as possible about the product you sell.

You can use the editor, which has similar tools to Microsoft Word, to assist you in formatting in bold or italic for example.

Customisation Title

If you sell a product that the customer can customise, this field allows you to set a title for the customisation.

Example: If you sell watches that can be customised by engraving, you would specify the title as Engraving.

Customised Description

If you sell a product that the customer can customise, this field allows you to set a more detailed description of what the customisation is for.

Example: If you sell watches that can be customised with an engraving, you would specify the description as Please specify the text you would like engraving on your watch.

Customisation Is Mandatory

If you sell a product that the customer can customise but you also sell as is, then you can leave this checkbox unchecked.

However, if you only sell this product as customised, check this box, to prevent users from adding it to their basket prior to specifying a customisation value.

YouTube Video ID

A YouTube video can be added to a product by specifying the relevant video ID. To retrieve this, find the video you'd like to add on YouTube, then click Share.

After clicking this, copy the ID which follows the / after either .com or .be. For example, the ID for https://youtu.be/ZzMvjMMUYmA is highlighted in bold.

PDFs

Up to 3 PDFs can be uploaded to each product.

If you plan on adding multiple PDFs to any product, please ask us to enable PDF filenames. Enabling this setting will ensure the filenames you upload are displayed. If using this setting, files should be named with this in mind. For example: Brochure.pdf

Weight & Dimensions

There are two sides to the weight and dimension fields.

All of the actual fields are for display purposes only. If any of these values are set, a new tab is shown on the frontend of the website called dimensions. Only the fields you populate will be displayed.

For the shipping fields these are only required if you are using weight based or volumetric shipping. These values are not displayed on the frontend. For volumetric based shipping, we would need to quote you for this customised functionality, based on your courier's requirements.

Normal Price

This is the standard price for this product. If you sell a product with variations this would also be the price used, unless specific pricing is set against the individual options.

Sale Price

By setting this price, you are putting this product "On Sale". This price will be shown alongside the normal price, with this crossed out and the savings highlighted.

Price Suffix

If you're selling products where the price is for a specific unit or quantity, you can use this field to highlight this. For example, if you are selling carpet by squared metre, you could set this field to Per m2

Cost Price

The cost price field allows the GP to be calculated as well as allows other reporting to be performed on product pricing. Please note: You require our sales & reporting module to utilise this functionality.

Price Breaks

It is also possible to offer discounts on bulk purchases of any given product. An example configuration of this would be:

The above configuration would set the product pricing to the following:

Status

To quickly enable or disable a product, simply use the Yes and No toggle button. The Yes button being present indicates the product is active.

There are also two additional options available on products to prevent ordering:

  • Un-Orderable: If you'd like the product to be displayed, but allow users to enquire about the product, then please check this box

  • Discontinued: If you sell a product that has now been discontinued, you can check this box to keep the product in search engines but prevent users from ordering it. This ensures any SEO value is not lost by removing discontinued products
Linked Products

If you'd like to display associated products on a product, click the Link Products button under this section and check the box next to any you'd like linking.

These products will then be displayed against this product, under the title "You may also be interested in..."

Stock Quantity

If you are using full stock management, this field contains the current quantity of this product that you have in stock. When a user purchases this item, this value is depleted automatically.

Alternatively, if you're using only stock flag management, you will be presented with a select field to choose either In Stock or Out of Stock.

Low Stock Trigger

If you are using full stock management, this field contains the stock level in which you would like to display an indicator on the frontend that this product has low stock.

For example, if you set this value to 5, then as soon the stock value falls to 5, a low stock message is shown against this product.

Stock Location

To assist in order picking, you can specify a value here to indicate where on your premise this item is located. The dispatch note is then displayed ordered by this field, ensuring all products are grouped together by their location.

MPN

This is the Manufacturers Part Number.

GTIN

This is the Global Trade Item Number. This is most commonly the product's barcode.

SKU

This is the Stock Keeping Unit, meaning it's your own internal reference number. The MPN or GTIN are often used here too, but if you have set up your own, you can define this in this field.

Shipping Profile

Occasionally you may have products that require different shipping costs to the rest of your products. Shipping Profiles allow you to cater for these scenarios. Once you have set a shipping profile up, you will be presented with a list of configured profiles to choose from. Leave this field blank if this product is is not relevant

Ecommerce - Products: Configure Options

Once you've added a product, you will be able to add configurable options, if required.

To get started, navigate to Ecommerce > Products. Then, find the product you would like to add options to, and double click that row.

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen, where Product Variations are located. The Product Variations section allows you to list the different aspects of your product where different choices are available. For the sake of simplicity, we will use a t-shirt in this example.

Using the Add New Variation button, add as many product variations as required, as seen in the below example:

As you add the different variations, you will notice the system calculating all of the product option possibilities. Once you have added all of the variations that you need, scroll down to see these options:

As different sized and coloured t-shirts would have a separate barcode, MPN and SKU, you can add these at the product option level, as opposed to the fields stored at the product level.

The other fields allow you to configure specific option pricing and stock levels. The button in the final column allows you to link an image directly to an option.
