IMSCart offers the ability to categorize products by product category. Product categories may also contain subcategories enabling storekeepers manage their products in as much detail as possible.

When creating your product records, it is important to make a distinction as to whether the product that is being created can be uniquely identified by its nature or name (e.g. Compact Disks, Video Cassettes, Books, etc.), or is one of many similar items that are uniquely identified by their attributes (e.g. Apparel, Furniture, Automobiles, etc.). The reason this distinction needs to be made, is because the methods for creating, editing and deleting differ for each. Items require the creation of Item Attributes, but products do not.

IMSCart offers the ability to set up multiple hotels and sub-hotels, each with different room types and properties. See also How to set-up a Hotel and Room for further information.

When creating your rooms, it is important to make a distinction as to whether the room that is being created can be uniquely identified by its nature or name (e.g. you have only a few distinct rooms), or is one of many similar items and price (e.g. many similar rooms).

You may create global properties that will be displayed as options for all rooms where price and availability is not a factor (e.g. smoking/non-smoking, two twin beds/one king bed).

Once rooms have been created you will want to assign prices to your rooms and create an inventory of rooms to be booked from. The shopper will not be allowed to book rooms that are not available.
