The Setup Inventory section of your cart is where you will create categories, items and edit those categories and items. This is a busy page, so by most buttons are numbers. These numbers correspond to the numbers below the image that define the numbered buttons. Most of the buttons are also linked to pages specifically about the function of the button.

Click on the buttons below to get a full explination of that button's function.

1. To the left of the VIEW button is a drop down menu; this menu contains all of the catagories that have been created in the shop. To view only the items from one category, select the category from the drop down menu and click VIEW. In the image above, the catagory being displayed is Train Sets.

2. The Alphabetize Inventory button will resort ALL the items in your shopping cart alphabetically.

3. Show Inventory Counts will take you to a page displaying all of your categories in a column. In the next column will be the total number of items in each category.

4. Once you have created an item, you may wish to edit that time. The EDIT button will take you to a page specifically for the item.

5. The COPY button will help you to rapidly create items that are similar; when you click on the COPY button, a new item, identical to the first, will be created. You may then edit the items. This may save you time versus simply using the ADD ITEM button repeatedly (button number 8, described below).

6. The DELETE button will perminently delete the item.

7. The up, dn and Move to first buttons allow you to change the placement of an item in your shop.

This code will display thumbnails and titles of all the item in the category of your choice. The thumbnails are displayed in a horizontal rows.

12. The RENAME CATEGORY button simply allows you to change the name of any particular category.

13. The REMOVE CATEGORY will actually allow you to either delete all the items from a category or remove the category completely. If you wish to simply delete the Category it is best to remove the items in the category first, either by assigning them to another category or deleting them, then delete the category.

14. The EDIT CATEGORY HTML\TITLE button will allow you to update the custom HTML code for your categories, and it will also allow you to change the title tag for that specific category.

15. The ARRANGE CATEGORIES button is similar to the buttons for moving items displayed in the cart. The ARRANGE CATEGORIES simply allows you to move the categories around so that they are displayed in the order you wish.

16. You may wish to sell an electronic product, such as an e-book or software. Our shopping cart software can accomidate this desire. If you wanted to sell an electronic product you would simply click on the ADD DOWNLOADABLE ITEM button. This will allow you to create the specific item.
