Categories and Overview

Manage Categories Section:
This section allows you to add, edit, and delete categories from your catalog (place on your web site where your products are sold). Categories group up products so that customers can quickly find what they are looking for. If you delete a category, all the products under that category are not deleted, but you will have to assign them to a different category under the "Edit Products" section in order to have them visible in the catalog. Simply click the "New" button to create a new category.
Selling Products QUICK RUNDOWN:
"So, how do I get the cart setup so I can sell my first product?"
The first step in selling a product is to create the category that the product will fall under.

Go to the "Manage Categories" section, and click on the "New" button. Type in your new category name, and hit the "Add Category" button.

Then, in the e-commerce navigation (at the top of page) click on the "Manage Products" section.

Then click on the "New" button. This will bring you to the product setup page. Select the Category you want the product to fall under, and fill in the appropriate information for the product (name, sku, price, weight etc.) See help at the bottom of the "Add Product" for detailed information about each entry.

Once your first product has been inserted into your online category, you will be able to view it from your site by clicking on the "Shop Online" page. But, before you are ready to have someone purchase the product, you need to setup the checkout procedure to fit your companies needs.
