CREATING CATEGORIES<br />

Every time you add a product to your inventory you will be required to specify the product’s<br />

category. You should create a basic list of categories before you begin adding products to<br />

your inventory. Additional categories can be added to the list as necessary. To create a<br />

category using the Merchant Tools, simply follow the steps listed below.<br />

1. Open the Merchant Tools in your browser. Under Category, click the link for Add<br />

Category.<br />

2. Enter the name of the category in the Category Name field. This is the name that will<br />

be displayed to your customers when they search your inventory using the <strong>StoreFront</strong><br />

search engine(search.asp).<br />

3. Enter a description of the category in the Category Description field. This<br />

information is for your administrative use and reference, and will not be available to<br />

customers.<br />

4. Enter the path to an image for the category in the Default Category Image URL.<br />

This image will be used as the default image on the search results pages for items<br />

that do not have a Product Small Image or Product Large Image specified. If no image<br />

path is specified, no default image will be used. For more information on product<br />

images, please see Creating Products page 201.<br />

5. Check Activate Category to make this category available on your site. If Activate<br />

Category is not checked, then items in this category will not be available from the<br />

search engine. Items in this category can still be purchased from other product pages<br />

that you have created using product bots.<br />
