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.
Adding Product Categories
IMSCart includes the ability to
associate products to product categories
and subcategories to enable better site
management. To create a new product
category, click on the Products button at

categories. Then click on the Add Category
button on the left side of the screen to
display the product category entry form.
Complete the
product
category entry form and click the Save
button at the end of the form to save the
new product category. If the category is
to be a top level category, leave the
Parent drop down list with the Default

category is to be a sub category of an
existing category, choose the appropriate
parent category from the Parent drop down
list.

category, all products and sub categories

that product category. Once all products

where price and availability is not a
factor (e.g. smoking/non-smoking, two twin
beds/one king bed).
