also need to be followed in addition to the basic product setup outlined
above.
The Page Layout section

listing.
Each Product within Tradepoint is its own unique web page with
unique identifier and SEO tools. Page Layout is the option within Tradepoint to
control which tools are available for each Product listing displayed on a web
site.
Page Layout is within Products and can be set for each product to
display different layout options for each product. Page Layout also provides the
SEO tools for Page Titles, Descriptions and Keywords for each product listed
within Tradepoint.
The page Layout screen holds options for
:
Visibility – How your product is displayed and
whether or not the ability to purchase an item has been
enabled.

your products.
