Product categories and SubCategories - Structure and Setup
Jan/3/2010
Tradepoint
supports an interactive set of tools for Product Categories and Sub-Categories.
Since Tradepoint is Ecommerce ready for product Categories and Sub-Categories
the Setup for Product Categories and Sub-Categories the Setup & Configure
tool supports several different factors for the setup of product categories and
sub-categories.
Tradepoint supports 3 levels within product categories to
maximize SEO potential for products and to minimize the number of clicks on a
website for searching for products.
Tradepoint also has other tools to
augment the Category and subcategory structure for the ability to associate
products with multiple product listings outside of a standard product category
structure for maximum exposure on a website.
These option
include:
Groups and Departments
Advanced Search Tools
Web Site
Display tools (Top Products, Display by Manufacturer or Brand for
example)
Product Categories are setup through the setup & Configure
tools which can be accessed through the + button next to the product category
field.
This
will direct to the main page within the Setup & Configure Tool to setup
product category details. These options will push through to an active web site
as soon as changes are made.
Each product Category and Sub Category within the Setup &
Configure Tool will have the same options.
