AUXILIARY WEB PAGES:
There are three types of web pages you can create in addition to your product page. Default home page, a default directory page, or a general custom page for some auxiliary purpose. There is no limit to the number of auxiliary web pages that can be used.

A web page consists of three large open fields for your custom html page. You can substitute one of the fields to output one of the available wizards.

HTML source code is automatically displayed for a reference to the auxiliary pages you create.

PRODUCT INVENTORY STRUCTURE:
The inventory structure is very flexible. It begins with the top category level, which expands down to another level of groups. The products are then categorized by these group names. A product can have up to two pages of additional detail.

The top category level is used for every size store. Only in a catalog system or large site would you typically use more than a single category. Multiple categories can be set up to navigate like a book or be output by wizard on a separate single directory page. You can attach an image to each category.

Each category leads to the groups which then lead to the products. The group pages have many wizards and options available such as 2, 3, and 4 column table formats, line items displays with images and descriptions optional, and the ability to purchase from multiple items being displayed on one page. You can attach an image to each group.

Each product can have a full page of custom HTML and a second image with additional wizards and page formatting options. If a product needs yet another page of details, this can also be easily added with a third image and additional page formatting options.

Product fields available: Name, Price, Retail Unit, Part No., Weight, Taxable, Sorting, and up to three images and descriptions for each.

Each product can have up to three levels of customized options. Each level of options can have multiple product options that can be attached to any product in a store. The options can be with or without a price or weight.

Groups of products or individual products can be changed and previewed prior to changing the online version. They may also be taken offline to allow for grouped revisions.

While editing pages, all changes can be previewed and accepted or canceled without affecting the live online version until they are finalized.
