In the one.com Online Shop, you can divide your products into categories and options. Both features will make it much easier for your visitors to find exactly what they are looking for in your shop. In this guide, we'll explain what the two features cover and how you can set them up in your Online Shop.
What are options and categories?
Categories
You can divide your products into different Categories, such as brands or groups. If you assign categories, a menu appears, allowing your customers to view only products of a specific category.
Options
You can use Options to specify different product types, for example, sizes and colours. A menu appears after a customer has selected a product.
A product can have multiple options, for example, size L in blue. Each unique combination of options forms a variant. You can specify an image, weight, SKU, quantity and price for each variant.
Note: Options are only available for physical products and gift cards.
