Product Settings

The product and product details pages offer a variety of adjustments that may be made here.

Product Display

Catalog Mode: This will remove the ‘Add to Cart’ from products and the cart system, making the products viewable, but not able to be purchased.
Hide Quantity from Subscription Purchase: Because subscriptions by their nature are a sign-up, not a purchase of a retail item, there is often no need for a quantity and it may be hidden here.
Restrict Store to User Level: By default, shopper is the normal status of users and there are no restrictions to viewing the store. If you would like to restrict access to the store, you may do so by user level. Customers would need to sign-in via their account before viewing the store if restricted.
Default Product Image: This image will represent any default image should you not have individualized images for a product. A good solution here is to upload a company logo or generic box image so as to brand your product. Every product DOES require an image, so this is an easy way to customize the default.

- Store Defaults: Products Per Page – Set the default products per page as an override. You can use this without paging to limit to the first x items.

Product Details

Model Number Extension: If you utilize option sets with custom model number variables, you can adjust the extension. For example: – dash would look like SKU: tshirt123-medium. It takes the SKU/model number and then adds this symbol + the option variables to your product. Default: – (dash)
Product Details: Image/Details Sizing: By default, the product image consumes 50% of the content area, and the product title/model/add to cart consumes the other 50% of your 2 column layout. You can choose to change those proportions easily here with various combinations and percentages.

Product List Display

Product Sorting: You may choose to show or hide the product sort feature on the product page.
- Default Product Sort: You may choose to have a default sort, or specify which sort order you would like customers to start with. IF you choose anything other than ‘Default Sorting’, the ability to manually sort products from the front-end will be ignored.

Product List: Show Featured Categories First: If selected, there will be featured categories listed at the top of the product page.
Product List: Hide Out of Stock: If your items is tracking quantity and out of stock, this will hide the item and make it not appear in your store of products. If you leave this on, the user may still see the product and you can engage backordering in our product ->shipping panel OR they can see that it’s simply ‘Out of Stock’.
Product List: Keep Add to Cart Button: If enabled, when a user adds an item to their cart, it will not switch to the ‘Checkout’ button, but instead remain ‘Add to Cart’ as text.
Product List: Redirect Add to Cart: If enabled, the user will go directly to the shopping cart when they add an item to the cart. If this feature is off, the user will remain on the same page and the item will go to the cart discreetly without ever leaving the page.
Product List: Add quantity box when Add to Cart button shows: EasyCart will show ‘Add to Cart’ when there are no options/variants/modifiers on a product, so users can quickly add to cart from the product panel. This option allows you to show a quantity box when that situation is valid. If your product buttons show ‘Select Options’ then the user must enter the product details here to select appropriate options, configure their product, then add to cart… so Quantity boxes are not valid when ‘Select Options’ is shown.

Product Inventory

Remove Stock When Added to Cart: If you enabling Quantity Tracking at the product level, either Overall Quantity Tracking or Option Item Quantity Tracking, the normal situation is to remove the items from inventory when the order is placed. However, you can enable this feature, and your EasyCart will temporarily remove the items from inventory when the user ‘Adds to Cart’. You can specify how long that item will remain in their cart per hour basis.
