Ecommerce Catalog Management

Give your marketing staff more control than ever before

Get your products in front of your customers quicker by enabling your marketing team to manage all aspects of your ecommerce catalog without needing help from your techies. Users are able to manage:

  • Categories: Create and manage an unlimited number of categories and subcategories with as many levels of categories as you require. Categories can have an unlimited number of additional fields for displaying marketing content etc.
  • Products: Create and manage an unlimited number of products. Each product is based on a product type which defines the available attributes and behavior of the product.
  • SKU's (Product Variations): Some products have multiple SKUs, such as clothing with different sizes and colors of the same item. Each SKU is defined based on a set of predefined SKU options, for example a SKU might be defined as a "Red", "Medium" variation of the product.
  • Display of Categories & Products: Each category and product can be displayed using a different custom template allowing for very tight control over look & feel.
  • Products in Multiple Categories: A product can be assigned to multiple categories. For example, a shirt might be added to a "New Items" category as well as the "Men's Shirts" category. Other examples of categories that may use this feature include "Weekly Specials," "Top 10 Picks," "Bestsellers" etc.
  • Multiple Languages: Product Catalog information can be entered in each language that has been configured for the store, enabling foreign customers to shop in their preferred language.
  • Product Pricing: Products support both List & Sale prices for each configured currency in the store. Additional price tiers can be created for any product to provide volume-based discounting.

    For example, a product with price tiers might look like this:

    • Qty up to 4: $49.99
    • Qty 5 - 10: $47.99
    • Qty 10 +: $45.99

    When a product has multiple SKUs, each SKU inherits its parent product price by default; however the pricing for a specific SKU can be overridden if required, allowing (for example) a specific size of clothing to be discounted.

  • Digital / Soft Goods: Products / SKUs can represent digital goods such as MP3 files, PDF documents, software or other downloadable files. These goods are released for download once payment has been accepted and/or the order has been processed by an administrator. Downloads are audited and download limits and expiry dates can be set to control download volumes after purchase.
  • Dynamic Image Engine: All product & category images are created from a single-master image, which greatly reduces the time and costs for image production and upload. As different sized images are required by the store, the Dynamic Image Engine automatically creates the required image from the master image.
  • Asset Manager: The asset manager allows you to upload and assign images, files or digital assets to the catalog and assign them to categories, products or SKUs as required.
  • Merchandising Items: Products can have an unlimited number of other products assigned to them as merchandising relationships. Cross-Sells, Up-Sells, Accessories, Warranties and replacement items are supported.
  • Product / Category Search: Ability to search for products or categories in the catalog.

Make sure you have the product available

Customers want to know they will receive what they purchase promptly. Keep your inventory accurate and up to date.

  • Reserve Quantities: Reserve quantities are useful if there is a certain amount of stock that must be kept on hand. For example, inventory for in-store display.
  • Reorder Minimum: When the reorder minimum is reached, the item is added to a low stock report.
  • Inventory by Product Variation: Inventory is tracked at the product variation (SKU) level. Each variation can have an inventory level, reserve quantity and reorder minimum.
  • Adjust Inventory: Inventory can be manually added or removed for any SKU/product, thus allowing stock corrections (e.g. damaged or lost merchandise), returns etc.
  • Upload Inventory: Received products can be added to inventory through the upload of an inventory file in CSV format.
  • Out of Stock Visible: You may choose if you want out-of-stock items displayed on the storefront as out-of-stock (possibly available for back-order) or hidden completely.
  • Optional Inventory Tracking: SKU's can either have Inventory Tracking enabled or disabled. Products with a presumed infinite stock (e.g. digital downloads) can have Inventory Tracking disabled so their stock is not managed.

Alternatively, you may choose to pull real-time inventory data from other data sources.
