Add a catalog of product to my website ? |
| From the Topics screen click on Add or duplicate a topic and choose a catalog model. After adding your catalog you can enable or disable price management in to be able to enter price for each of your products. If the price management is enabled then you can activate the shopping cart too. These options are located in the Design and layout tab of your catalog. Managing your cart will allow visitors to add products before to print out their order (Professional Edition of TOWeb) or before to proceed to their payment and automatically send you the order by email (e-Commerce edition of TOWeb). Then edit the contents of your catalog, in each sheet you can indicate the price of each item (from the Price & stock tab) and also add various item subcategories (sizes, types, colors) with different prices, and shipping prices too if you have checked the option "Use shipping prices" in the "Settings > Shopcart & shipments" step. |

Manage you catalog items |
This new button (located above the list of catalog items) displays your catalog items into a grid to facilitate the update of their information. You can view and easily change the price of your items, references, stock status indicators, fixed shipping fees as well as their quantities.
To edit and modify any information in this grid you can either select + click on the cell or press the F2 key.
The quantities of your items are not automatically decremented in real time on your site every time someone make an order. Some orders may not result in any delivery (customer making mistakes and sending several wrong orders, payment never received for some orders, ...) therefore if you manage the item quantities in your catalog you need to :
- update the quantity manually based on payment you've actually received (by check, credit card or bank transfer)
- and then republish your site to have your items changes available online
Finally, if you just want to update the item quantities, you can also use the wizard ("update quantity from orders") available from the Settings > e-Commerce screen to update your stock from an order recevied by email (see paragraph above for more information).

Update catalog item quantities from your email orders |
Accessible from the Settings > e-Commerce screen or from the "Price & stock" tab of tour catalog item, this wizard helps you to update the item quantities from the order you received by email with a copy/paste of the content of this email.
Suppose for example you have 2 products in your catalog: an item A with a quantity of 10 and a item B with a quantity of 20 and order from your site 2 items A and 4 items B. In the order email you received make a "copy" of the entire content of your email and paste it in the wizard. The wizard will then show the new decreased quantities of your items A and B (to display a quantity of 8 for item A and 16 for B in our example) and ask you to validate or modify these quantities.
Important: once your quantities are updated do not forget to publish your site in order to make your chanages available on the internet.

Enter your own reference codes to your catalog items |

And if you want your reference codes to be displayed on the catalog item pages of your website then check the display catalog reference option located in the design & layout tab of your catalog.
