A Look inside the Catalog
The key to building your shop is adding products to its catalog, and while PrestaShop makes it easy to streamline that process as much as possible, you might still need a hand in getting the hang of it all. Indeed, there are many pages that you can fill in with a lot of data, and many forms to validate.
That is the purpose of this chapter: to take you through all the menus that weren't explored in the previous chapter ("Adding Products and Product Categories"), explaining each form and detailing every field, so that you can get up to speed quickly with your shop, know what data you need in order to prove useful to the customers and in the end, sell more.
Throughout a product set up, we are going to tackle how to use several key pages from the "Catalog" menu.
Products
The "Products" page and its dozen of tabs per product are explained in details in the previous chapter, "Adding Products and Product Categories".
Categories
The "Categories" page is explained in details in the previous chapter, "Adding Products and Product Categories".
Monitoring
The "Monitoring" page is the sections of your shop to which you must pay the most attention in order to best manage your catalog.
Four sections are shownLa clave para fortalecer y dar valor a su tienda está en añadir productos a su catálogo, y aunque PrestaShop hace que este proceso sea fácil de racionalizar tanto como es posible, es probable que necesite ayuda para descubirir todas las posibilidades. De hecho, hay muchas páginas que se pueden rellenar con una gran cantidad de datos, y muchas formas de validar.
Este es el propósito de este capítulo: llevarlo a través de todos los menús que no fueron explorados en el capítulo anterior ("Añadir productos y categorías de productos"), explicando cada formulario y todos los campos con detalle, para que pueda ponerse al día rápidamente con su tienda, conociendo la información que necesita con el fin de ser más útil a sus clientes y, finalmente, vender más.
Mediante un producto introducido , vamos a abordar cómo utilizar varias páginas principales del menú "Catálogo".
Productos
La página de "Productos" y su docena de pestañas por producto se explican en detalle en el capítulo anterior, "Añadir productos y categorías de productos".
Categorias
La página "Categorías" se explica en detalle en el capítulo anterior, "Añadir productos y categorías de productos".
Monitoring
La página "Monitoreo" es la sección de su tienda a la que debe prestar mayor atención con el fin de gestionar mejor su catálogo.
Cuatro secciones son mostradas:
- List of empty categories. Gives you the categories that do not have any products. You should either delete these empty categories, or fill them with at least one product. This prevents customers from finding themselves in an empty category in your shop.
- List of products with attributes and without available quantities for sale. Gives you which products are no longer for sale. If you do not see any good reason for them not being for sale, then put them back online
- List of products without attributes and without available quantities for sale. Likewise, gives you which products are no longer for sale. Find the reason why, or put them back up.
- List of disabled products. Gives you the products that have been disabled in the store and that aren't visible to your customers. Consider either enabling them (maybe after restocking them) or deleting them from your catalog.
