This video serves as part three of a series of videos covering the customization options you have available for tailoring the design and experience for the shopping cart section of GrazeCart. The first two videos we did on vendor profiles and setting up protocol descriptions.
Users can create new collections, assign products to them, and customize details such as names, descriptions (which support HTML), SEO settings, URLs, and cover photos. The descriptions and metadata options are particularly helpful for businesses aiming to improve their SEO.
Product display order within collections can be customized — either manually or by sorting by product name or price. Additionally, the video touches on managing how collections appear in the store’s menu through the Menu Editor.
What are Collections?
Collections are categories that your customers can shop by to filter different products that you have in your offering. Collections are listed by default on the left hand side of your store site. You can categorize your products however you want and then customers can filter by them in the store. You can also add a collection header photo and or footer descriptions at the bottom of the page, which helps represent what that particular category offers.
