If you have many items available for purchase at your store, an easy way to categorize your items is by using the catalog feature in EasyStoreMaker Pro. Catalogs will increase the ease with which customers will be able to locate the item(s) they are looking for.
To add a catalog to EasyStore Pro:
Select the “Catalogs” tab and click on “Add”.
A list of the current catalogs should come up. If you haven't made any catalogs before, this list will be empty. Click on "Add" to create a new catalog. If you have a special catalog which you do not wish to display all the time, you can check the box marked "hide from view", and that catalog will not be displayed in your store.
In the "Attributes" category, enter the catalog name, description (if you wish) and the sorting options. The sorting options allow you to indicate how you want the items in that catalog to be displayed. A second setting allows you to indicate how to sort specially-marked items (e.g. on sale, sold out, etc). If you have an image on your computer which you wish to use for your product, simply click on the “Browse…” button at the bottom of your screen. A dialogue window will open, allowing you to locate and select the image you want to use. Then click the “upload” button and your image will be uploaded to your /public/storemaker/images/ directory. Please note, you will still have to manually enter the URL or relative path to your image. The “browse” and “upload” buttons are convenient methods of uploading images for your store’s use.
Click “OK” to return to the main "Catalogs" tab. You will see a list of your current catalogs listed.
If you have more catalogs to add, click on “Add” and repeat the above process.
Note: Make sure you click "Apply" before moving to the next subcategory, or your settings will not be saved.
