Where it lives, and how the panel works

Search instead of hunting
The search box at the top of the page filters it as you type, and it matches hidden keywords as well as names. The same box on the Settings home searches every panel at once.
Jump between sections
A section list sits beside the page and follows you down it, so you can move straight to the part you came for without scrolling through everything between.
Advanced settings are folded away
Each section hides its rarely-changed settings behind a Show N advanced settings link, naming the first few so you know whether it is worth opening. 0 of the 0 settings on this page start folded.
Dependent settings appear as needed
Settings shown indented here only exist once the setting above them is switched on. Sections of the editor reveal their fields as you switch a feature on, and hide them again when you switch it off.
Saving
Switches and dropdowns save the moment you change them. Anything you type collects in a save bar at the foot of the page that counts your unsaved changes and warns you before you navigate away.
Locked settings
Rows marked with a padlock need WP EasyCart PRO or Premium. They stay visible so you can see what the upgrade adds. Nothing on this page is locked.
Placing the product
Categories, brand and menus
What the product is, and where you have decided it should be seen.
Categories and manufacturer
Where the product sits in your catalogue
no stored settingsA product can belong to several categories, added by typing to search, with the option to create a new one without leaving the editor. Being in more than one category is normal and useful: a product can be both a gift idea and a kitchen item.
Bear in mind that rule-based categories fill themselves. If a category is defined by a rule the product matches, it will join on its own, and adding it by hand as well is harmless but unnecessary.
The manufacturer is the brand, chosen from your existing list or created here. Setting it puts the product on that brand’s page and makes it findable by brand in search, which only matters if your shoppers think in brands.
💡 Note: Rule-based categories add products automatically when they match. Check how a category is filled under Categories before adding a product to it by hand.
Menus and featured products
Hand-placed positions on the storefront
no stored settingsMenu locations place the product into the hand-built navigation menus. Unlike categories, menus do not fill themselves, so this is where you put a product into a seasonal or promotional route through the store.
Featured products are the hand-picked selections shown in featured blocks around the storefront. Both of these are deliberate placements: they say this product should be seen, rather than describing what it is.
Neither will maintain itself. A product placed in a Christmas menu stays there until somebody removes it, which is worth a diary note rather than a discovery in February.
💡 Note: Menu placements and featured selections are permanent until changed. Unlike a rule-based category they will not clear themselves when a season ends.
