Adding New Products!

Terms:

product display – the page that the end user sees

product variation – a raw product with its own price and SKU

product reference – telling the display which variations it should display

 

Brand new product:

In the menu go to content > add content > product display.

The title here is the title that will show up on the main display page, leave out any modifiers like (eVersion)

After description you can add the actual products, its the image within this product variation that gets displayed.

The image further down the page labeled ‘thumbnail’ is not used anymore and will be removed.

All other information fill in as normal.

 

Adding a variation:

Either add a product like you did above on the product display page, with its own variation image and everything.

OR

Add a product on its own by going to store > products > add a product.

Then on the product display page you want to attach it to click on “add existing product”, instead of “add new product” and find the right Product by typing in either the name or the SKU.

 

I hope you’re sitting down:

In the case that you have multiple variations of a book it is better for the orginization of the site (but not essential) to also make multiple displays.

Each display will have one primary variation which will be the first one referenced in that displays product reference.

Example:

You have a Print and eBook variation of a book with the title “The Amazing Gatsby”.

You add a product display for it, you add a new product variation for the Print version first and the product variation for the eBook version second.

Once this product display is done you save and add another product display.

This time instead of adding a new product you add existing product.

Add the eBook version first and the Print version second, the first referenced product becomes the primary for that display.

Its this eBook display that should be tagged as eBook in the ‘specific interests’ not the one with Print as the primary.

Both displays will reference both products, but each will have a different one first.

 

Finally, reindex the site here: http://bethlehembooks.com/admin/config/search/settings

so the new items show up in the search!
