Setting Up Your Catalog

This chapter describes how to create a catalog for your web store, how to add products, and how to define their attributes.

The best workflow for creating your products is as follows:

Step 1 Setting up Catalog Defaults

Step 2 Creating Categories

Step 3 Creating Attributes

Step 4 Creating Attribute Sets

Step 5 Creating a New Product

1. Setting up Catalog Defaults

The first step to creating your catalog is to configure the catalog system default settings.

To configure catalog defaults:

In the Admin Panel, select Catalog >Settings > Catalog.

The following describes some of the more important sections in the page.

Front End

 List Mode

1. Grid Only: The products are displayed only in a grid structure.

2. List Only: The products are displayed only in a list.

3. Grid (Default)/List: The products are displayed in a grid structure by default, but your

customers are able to switch to list.

4. List (Default)/Grid: The products are displayed in a list structure by default, but your

customers are able to switch to grid.

 Products per Page: For each display type (List and Grid)

 Allow All Products per Page: Select whether the customers are allowed to display all products on a single category page.

 Product Listing Sort By: The products are sorted, by default, by the selected attribute. The customer can select from the other options on a per-page basis.

 Use Flat Catalog Category: Selecting Yes “flattens” multiple category database tables into a single table for increased performance on the frontend. Magento recommends selecting Yes for any size catalog.

 Use Flat Catalog Product: Selecting Yes “flattens” multiple product database tables into a single table for increased performance on the frontend. Magento recommends selecting Yes if your catalog contains more than 1,000 SKUs

 Allow Dynamic Media URLs in Products and Categories: Selecting No can improve performance

Sitemap

This section determines how your site map is displayed to customers.

 Use Tree like Category Sitemap: Selecting Yes displays the site map as a tree, showing all categories and subcategories as branches. Selecting No displays the categories and subcategories in a single column.

 Minimum Lines per Page: Determines the number of lines on each page when the site map is distributed among several pages.

Product Reviews

This section enables unregistered guests in your store to write product reviews.

Product Alerts

You can enable your customers to subscribe to two types of customer alerts by email:

Price change alerts and in-stock alerts. For each alert type, choose whether to enable users to subscribe to it, and select the email template to use. Also, select a sender display name, which applies to both alert types.

The price change alert creates a Sign up for price alert link in every product page. Clicking this link subscribes your customers to this alert for that particular product so that they receive an email each time the product price is changed. This includes adding or changing Special Prices in addition to the regular Price field.

Product Alerts Run Settings

These settings enable you to select how often Magento checks for changes that require alerts to be sent. Additionally, you can select the recipient, sender, and template for emails that are sent if the sending of alerts fails.

 Frequency: Choose how often product alerts are sent out: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.

 Start Time: Choose what time of day the product alert process starts. This time should be after any price or inventory updates are performed.

 Error Email Recipient: Identify the email address of the person (normally a store administrator) who should receive an email notification when there is an error in the product alert process.

 Error Email Sender: Select the role that the email will be “from.”

 Error Email Template: Select the email template to use for product alert error notifications.

Product Image Placeholders

This section enables you to specify an image for each of the sizes that are used instead of the product image, if it is missing.

Price

The Price section contains only the Catalog Price Scope drop-down list, in which you can select the scope of the base currency (Global or Website).

Layered Navigation

The Layered Navigation section enables you to choose whether the price ranges that are displayed in the layered navigation tool are calculated automatically or manually. If you select Manual, the

Default Price Navigation Step field becomes visible, enabling you to specify the default size of the price ranges.

Category Top Navigation

The Category Top Navigation section enables you to define how many levels of subcategories are displayed by clicking on a category in the top navigation bar on the frontend. Setting this value to 0

(zero) enables all levels to be displayed. If you have a large number of subcategory levels, this can potentially make it difficult for the user to navigate.

Search Engine Optimizations

In order to make your site more search engine friendly, configure the following:

 Auto generated Site Map: Enable this feature to display a Site Map link in the footer of the frontend pages. This enables a customer to view an automatically generated site map including a list of all of your existing categories. In addition to the auto-generated site map,

Magento CE enables integration with Google Sitemap.

 Popular Search Terms: Enable this feature to display a Search Terms link in the footer of the frontend pages. This enables customers to link to a list of all search terms. This is an SEO feature because each of these search terms counts as a link to your site and is explored by search engines to discover content on your site.

 Product URL Suffix and Category URL Suffix: These options determine which suffix is displayed on each product and category page. Typically this value will be .html or .htm.

When you change this value (and click Save Config), you must perform a cache refresh by selecting Advanced > Cache/Index Management and clicking Flush Magento Cache.

 Use Categories Path for Product URLs: This option determines how the URL is composed.

Select Yes to specify that the URL links for products include the associated category and a separate link is generated for each associated category. Select No to specify that the URL rewrites include only the product name and that there is only one link for each product, regardless of how many categories the product is associated with.

 Create Permanent Redirect for old URLs if URL key changed: Selecting Yes automatically creates a redirect for the old URL that points to the new URL if a page is moved. Doing so eliminates the “404 Not Found” error message that customers see if a page they had bookmarked is moved.

 Page Title Separator: Specify a character to replace the space character with when the system uses the page title to construct the page’s URL. Typically you would use an underscore (_) or hyphen (-).

 Use Canonical Link Meta Tag For Categories and Use Canonical Link Meta Tag For

Products: Select whether to add a tag to each category or product page that points to a

“preferred” URL for search engines to index when encountering pages that contain the same content (but which may be sorted differently, for instance).

Catalog Search

The options in this section define how the catalog search feature behaves.

 Minimal Query Length: Defines the minimum number of characters that the customer must specify in the Search field on the frontend.

 Maximum Query Length: Defines the maximum number of characters that the customer may specify in the Search field.

 Maximum Query Words Count: Define the maximum number of terms that can be specified in the Search field. This limit applies to the “Like" search type only.

 Search Type: Define the type of search that is performed:

1. Like: Includes only results that are close in spelling to the specified search terms.

2. Full text: Includes only results that exactly match the specified search terms.

3. Combine (Like and Fulltext): Includes both exact matches and close matches.

 Apply Layered Navigation if Search Results are Less Than: Defines the maximum number of results for which layered navigation can be applied. If the number of results is more than this number, then the results are presented as a simple list. If you specify 0, then layered navigation is always applied. Limiting the number of results can increase performance.

Downloadable Products Options

This section controls the settings for Downloadable products. The most important settings are:

 Order Item Status to Enable Downloads: Controls whether customers can access their downloadable product links immediately after the order is placed or only after the invoice is created for the order.

 Default Maximum Number of Downloads: Controls how many times a downloadable product may be downloaded by the customer after it has been purchased.

 Shareable: Setting this option to Yes enables non-registered customers (guest customers) to access their downloads. This is the only option for customers to access their products if you want to offer guest checkout or quick checkout methods, such as PayPal Express or Google

Checkout.

 Default Sample Title and Default Link Title: These settings control what is displayed throughout the store when referring to samples and downloadable products (links).

 Open Links in New Window: Controls whether the download page opens in a new window.

 Use Content-Disposition: Controls whether the content is opened in a browser window or downloaded.

 Disable Guest Checkout if Cart Contains Downloadable Items: This setting disables the Guest

Checkout option only if there are downloadable items in a cart, and leaves it enabled if a customer is purchasing other products. If you set this option to Yes, be sure to set the

Shareable option to Yes as well.

Date and Time Custom Options

The options in this section control how dates and times are displayed in your store.

 Use JavaScript Calendar: Enables your store to present a JavaScript-powered calendar date picker in any field that requires the customer to select a date. When this option is set to No, then drop-down lists are provided to select the date and time.

 Date Fields Order and Time Format: Select the order in which the day, month, and year values are presented in the format xx/yy/zz., and select a 12-hour (a.m./p.m.) or 24-hour time format.

These fields are important for store views that are targeted for specific countries that use date and time formats that are different from your local custom.

 Year Range: Indicate the range of years that is available for selection in either the JavaScript calendar or calendar drop-down lists. Use a four-digit year format.

2. Managing Categories

This section describes how to display, create, and edit categories and subcategories.

Displaying Categories

To display a list of all defined categories:

Select Catalog > Manage Categories. The categories are listed in a tree view on the left.

To create a new category:

 To create a new root category, make sure that Choose Store View in the upper- left corner of the page is set to Default Config, and click Add Root Category.

 To create a subcategory, select the parent category (it can be either a root category or a category) in the list and click Add Subcategory.

Four tabs of information are provided to describe this category: General Information, Display

Settings, Custom Design, and Category Products

General Information Tab

1. Specify a name for this category in the Name field.

2. Set the Is Active field to Yes to specify that this category appears in the store.

3. In the URL key field you can specify a relative URL path which can be entered in place of the standard Target Path. It is “search engine friendly” because it can use the name of the

category instead of the ID number. If you leave this field blank, Magento CE will automatically generate a URL with the name of the category upon creation of the category. If you enter a value here manually, you cannot use spaces in this field. The URL key field is not displayed for root categories.

4. For Thumbnail Image, use the Browse button to select and upload a thumbnail image to represent the category.

5. Specify a description in the Description text box. This description is presented on the front end.

6. The Image field is used for a category image. Click the Browse button next to the field to select the file. This image will appear in the frontend for each category’s page between the category name and the content.

7. In the Page Title field, specify the title of the page, which will be displayed on the browser tab header when the customer opens this category page.

8. In the Meta Keywords and Meta Description text boxes, specify the keywords and description for search engines to use for this category when indexing your site.

9. Select Yes for Include in Navigation Menu so that the category will appear in the navigation menu on the front end.

10. Click Save Category to save your changes.

Display Settings Tab

1. In the Display Mode field, select one of the following options to specify how you would like your category page to appear:

 Static block only

 Static block and product list below it

 Product list only

2. In the CMS Block field, select the static block that you would like to be shown for this category (if selected in the Display Mode field). This block must first be created in the CMS section;

3. In the Is Anchor field, select Yes to specify that this category page is an anchor. Anchors are used for the layered navigation in Magento CE, as described in “Layered Navigation,”

 If you set the category to be an anchor for Layered Navigation, then your

Web store displays the subcategories of this category in the SHOP BY panel on the left. This area also shows a linked list of the filterable attributes of the products in this category and its subcategories.

3. For Available Product Listing Sort By, specify the attributes by which the customer can sort the list of products in this category. By default, all available attributes can be used for sorting; clear the Use All Available Attributes check box to modify the list.

4. For Default Product Listing Sort By, select the attribute by which the product list is sorted by default. This is set in the catalog configuration, but you can clear the Use Config Settings check box to select a default sorting attribute for this particular category.

5. For Layered Navigation Price Step, specify the size of the price range to be used when calculating the price “buckets” for the Layered Navigation. This is set in the catalog configuration, but you can clear the Use Config Settings check box to specify a price range size for this particular category.

Custom Design Tab

The Custom Design tab contains additional settings to control the theme and layout updates that are used for this category page.

1. For Use Parent Category Settings, choose Yes to “inherit” the settings of this subcategory from its parent category. Doing so ensures a consistent look within a category family, and disables all other settings on this page. This setting is not available for root categories.

2. For Apply to Products, select Yes to apply the category page settings to the product pages of the products in this category.

3. Select a custom design from the Custom Design drop-down list.

4. For the Active From and Active To fields, select the start and end dates for this custom design to be applied to this category. If you do not select a start date, the custom design is applied immediately. If you do not select an end date, the custom design is applied to this category until you manually deactivate it.

5. For Page Layout, select a layout from the drop-down list.

 No layout updates: Uses the default settings

 Empty: Displays the category page without any objects, except for the content

(products or static blocks only), category name, and view options (number to display per page, view as grid or list, and sort be options)

 1 column: Displays the contents, category name and view options, as well as the header, footer, search field, and navigation bar

 Column on the left: Adds the left column to the 1 column display, which by default includes the currency selection and layered navigation

 Column on the right: Adds the right column to the 1 column display, which by default includes the shopping cart view, wishlist, compared products list, polls, and newsletter sign-up

 3 columns: Displays both the left and the right columns

6. The Custom Layout Update is essentially a static block, with a few differences. Rather than HTML, the structure must be in XML format. The Update will appear at the bottom of the page, below the products, whereas a static block will appear above the products (if the static block is set to display with products). The custom layout update will appear on the page only during the dates specified in the Active From and Active To date range.

Edit Attribute Set

Note: System attributes are indicated by an icon with an orange dot.

The top left of the page shows the name of the attribute set that you are defining. The center of the page shows a hierarchical tree representing groups of attributes.

An attribute group is a logical grouping of attributes within an attribute set.

The right side of the page shows a list of attributes defined in other attribute sets and not assigned to this attribute set.

5. Assign attributes to this attribute set by dragging them from the Unassigned Attributes area on the right into a group in the tree in the Groups area.

2. Specify the name of the new group and click OK.

3. Click and drag attributes from the Unassigned Attributes area into the newly created group to assign them to this group.

4. You can also click and drag attributes that are already assigned to move them between groups.

4. Managing Products

This section describes how to define and edit products.

Product Types

Here is a variety of product types that enable significant flexibility when defining products. The following lists the available product types and their typical usage:

 Simple Product: This is the most basic product type. It is suitable for all kinds of physical (shipped) products.

 Grouped: This option enables you to display several similar products on a single page.

For example, if you are selling chefs’ knives and you have the same knife in four sizes, you can make a grouped product to display all four of these sizes. Customers can select the size(s) that they want and the quantity they need, and add them to the cart from this page.

 Configurable: This product type enables your customers to select the variant that they want by choosing options.

For example, you can sell T-shirts in two colors and three sizes. You would have to create six variants as individual products (each with its own SKU) and then add these six to a configurable product where customers can choose the size and color, and then add it to their cart. A very similar functionality is possible by using Custom Options for Simple products.

The difference between a configurable product and a product including custom options is that inventory is not checked or updated for individual options during the purchase of the latter and there is no possibility to go directly to a product with a given set of options. This also makes it hard for a search engine to find the product option.

 Virtual Product: This is a product that does not require shipping or inventory. It is generally used for warranties or services.

 Downloadable Product: This is a digitally downloadable product that sells one or more files of a product and provides samples of those files. These downloadable files can reside on your server or be provided as URLs to any other server.

 Bundle: This product is composed of components that are presented in different ways and are made from existing products. A good example of a bundle is a complete computer. For this computer, you can configure how much RAM or what kind of monitor is included with this computer in your store.

Creating a New Product

The following steps are the same for all product types. Subsequent sections describe the differences between each of the product types.

To create a new product:

1. In the Admin Panel, select Catalog > Manage Products to display the Manage Products page, as shown in Figure

2. Click Add Product on the top right of the page to display the New Product page

The New Product page is the first page of a product definition wizard that walks you through the process of defining a product.

1. In the Attribute Set field, select the attribute set that contains the attributes that best describe this product.

2. In the Product Type field, choose the type of product you want to create.

3. Click Continue to display the General tab, (This tab may look different depending on the product type that you choose.).

General Tab

Fill in all the mandatory fields, which are indicated by a red asterisk (*).

 Name: The product name as it appears in the frontend.

 SKU: The product’s store keeping unit (SKU). Magento CE uses SKU as a unique identifier for this product. SKU is global, meaning if you update the SKU for a product in one web store, it updates in all other web stores as well.

 Weight: The product's weight. This value is usually used for shipping calculations. Specify only the number.

 Status: Select Enabled to make this product available on the frontend.

 Tax Class: The tax class of the product.

Con figu ration Pages

Depending upon the product type, additional configuration tabs may be available. The following provides a quick review of these types of pages.

Downloadable Products: Downloadable Information Tab

The Downloadable Information tab enables you to specify options for a downloadable product.

This page contains two sections:

 The Samples section enables you to display a sample of the downloadable product on the product’s information page. For example, this can be a short sample of a music file, a few pages of an eBook, or a trial version of a software application. You can provide as many samples as you require by clicking the

Add New Row button and filling out the fields. You can add files using either of two methods:

1. Selecting the File option, clicking the Browse button (...) and then clicking the Upload Files button. This will upload the file from your local computer to the server.

2. Selecting the URL option, specifying the link to a file that is already on a server in a different location, and clicking the Upload Files button.

 The Links section contains the actual products that can be purchased, along with possible samples for them.

1. The Links can be purchased separately option controls whether each of the downloadable products can be purchased by itself or not. This feature enables, for example, the tracks of a music CD product to be purchased separately. If you set this option to Yes, then you must input the price for each of the downloadable items.

Fig: A product in a store with three links and samples for each of them, for which the setting

Links can be purchased separately was set to Yes.

2. Each of the items also has two options controlling its behavior. The Max. Downloads option controls how many times after purchase a product can be downloaded by the customer.

The Shareable option controls whether after each purchase of the product, the downloadable item is available for download without logging in, or if it requires logging in. If the Shareable option is set to

Yes, then customers can click links in the Order Confirmation email that they receive in order to get the product. However, this setting also enables anyone who gets this link to download the product.

Setting this option to Yes is the only way to enable Guests to check out (or to enable a comparable

quick checkout method, such as PayPal Express or Google Checkout) to download the product. There are configuration settings that must be selected to match your store.

The uploading process is similar to the uploading of the samples, as described above, with the exception of providing an option to tie in sample files for each downloadable product. This feature can be used to provide customers with a short sample of each track of a music CD, for example.

Bundle Product: Bundle Items Tab

Bundle

Product in

Front-end

In Bundled product types, there are differences in the General and Prices pages, as follows:

 SKU Fixed or Dynamic (General tab): Specifies whether the entire product is assigned an

SKU based on its components, or is the SKU fixed for the bundle.

 Weight Fixed or Dynamic (General tab): Specifies whether the entire product’s weight is based on the weight of its individual components, or is the weight fixed for the entire bundle.

 Price Fixed or Dynamic (Price tab): Specifies whether the price of the product us based on the price of its individual component, or is the price fixed for the entire bundle.

 Price View (Price tab): Specifies whether the product’s price is shown as a range, from the least expensive component to the most expensive (Price Range), or is only the least expensive shown (As Low As).

The Bundle Items tab contains the following settings:

 Ship Bundle Items: Specifies whether individual components are shipped separately or whether the entire product is shipped.

 Bundle Items: Bundled Items appear in the store as a list of available options.

You can add a new option using the Add New Option button. For each option you can configure its title, input type (single and multiple selection fields are available), whether the field is mandatory (for example: it can be True for a computer processor and False for an additional battery of a laptop computer), and its position on the page.

Bundle Items Tab

After you add options, you can specify individual values for each option. Click the Add Selection button to open a selection area. You can select any product that you want using the check boxes.

Click the Add Selected Product(s) to Option button to confirm the assignment.

Adding Products to a Bundle

For each selection, you can then define the following options:

 Default Qty: Specifies the default quantity shown in the product view page

 User Defined Qty: When set to Yes, this option enables customers to enter a quantity for a given selection

 Position: Specifies the Orders of a selection

 Default: Specifies the predefined value

Grouped Product: Associated Products Tab

A grouped product enables you to purchase each of the items separately.

Grouped Product

When creating a Grouped Product, the Associated Products page enables you to specify which products are included in a group, as well as the default quantity for each and their position

(order) on the page.

Associated Products in a Grouped Product

Note: There is no global price for grouped products. Their price is controlled only by the individual elements that you purchase.

Configurable Product: Associated Products Tab

Configurable products must be associated with simple products using attributes that a customer can select from a configurable product page. This means that when a shirt is offered in three sizes, then three simple products must be assigned to the configurable product, one for each size.

The configurable product appears in the store with a section that provides customers with options, such as the Size option.

Configurable Product

This is the most complex configuration page and it is described below it in three stages.

1. Select Configurable Attributes

This section enables you to select the product attributes that can be configured. The only attributes that are available on this tab are those that have a scope of Global, an input type of

Dropdown, and the Use to create configurable product option set to Yes.

Select Configurable Attributes

Use the check boxes to select one or more desired attribute, and then click Continue.

2. Create Simple Associated Product

This section enables you to create simple products along with the configurable product.

Create Simple Associated Product

Click the Create Empty button to open a popup window with a regular product creation page, but which has a preselected product type, Simple Product, and an attribute set that is the same as the configurable product.

The Copy from Configurable button works in a very similar manner to the above, but it pre-fills many of the fields with information from the selected configurable product.

Quick Simple Product Creation

This area enables you to quickly create simple products without filling in all the information. Fill in the required fields and click the Quick Create button to create this product. The Auto generate option enables Magento CE to select the Name and SKU based on the attributes.

3. Super Product Attributes Configuration

This section enables you to specify the attribute name that appears in the store for selection and the price for each of the options. Two price options are provided: Fixed or Percentage.

The price for configurable products is a combination of the price from the Prices tab, as described in

“Prices Tab,” , and the values entered in this area. This means that if the configurable product’s price is $20 and the price for the Medium option is: Percentage and 10, then this variation of the product costs $22. The price of the associated products is not used for calculation.

Selecting Associated Products

Click the Save or Save and Continue Editing button in the top right corner of the page.

To edit an existing product:

1. From the Catalog menu, select the Manage Products option to display a list ofproducts.

2. Click the Edit link on the right side of the row of the relevant product.

Taxes

Admin side provides a variety of options for defining taxes that can be accessed by selecting the

Setup menu and then the Tax option.

Tax classes are used to define “tax rules.” Tax rules are defined as a combination ofa Product Class, a

Customer Class and a Tax Zone and Rate, as described below.

Each type of customer can be assigned a class when you define them, and each product is assigned a tax class.

Magento CE analyzes the shopping cart of each customer and calculates the appropriate tax according to the class of the customer, the class of the products in the shopping cart, and the region (as defined by the customer’s shipping address, billing address or shipping origin).

Magento also supports the calculation of Value-Added Tax (VAT) for business-to-business transactions in the European Union.

Note: When you set up tax options, be sure to set your store scope so that the options are applied across stores and websites appropriately.

General Taxation Settings

To configure general taxation settings:

1. From the Setup menu, select the Tax option.

Option Description

Unit Price : Using this rounding rule, calculates the tax for each item and displays prices tax- inclusive. To calculate the tax total, rounds each of the item taxes individually and then adds them together.

Row Total : Using this rounding rule, calculates the tax for each line. To calculate the tax total, rounds each of the line item taxes and then adds them together.

Total : Using this rounding rule calculates the tax for each item and adds those tax values to calculate the total un-rounded tax amount for the order. Then applies the specified rounding mode to the total tax to determine the total tax for the order.

8. In the Tax Calculation Based On field, select whether the tax is calculated based on the customer’s shipping address, billing address, or your store’s shipping origin.

9. In the Catalog Prices field,specify whether the catalog prices of items include tax or exclude tax.

Note: If you select Including Tax for any of the options described in the following steps, then the tax is only displayed if there is a tax rule that matches the tax origin or if Magento detects that the customer address matches the tax rule (which happens after a customer creates an account, logs in, or uses the Tax and Shipping estimation tool in the cart).

15. Expand the Price Display Settings tab to select how prices for products shipping are displayed in the catalog (including tax, excluding tax, or both).

16. Expand the Shopping Cart Display Settings section to select how taxes and prices are shown for products and in a shopping cart according to the requirements (legal and otherwise) of your store.

Note: To assign a fixed tax to a product, create an attribute with the Catalog Input Type for Store

Owner set to Fixed Product Tax, and assign this attribute to the attribute set for the product.

Product Tax Class

You create product tax classes and assign products to them depending on the type of product. For example, food might not be taxed (or might be taxed at a different rate).

To define a product tax class:

1. Select Setup > Tax > Product Tax Class to display the Product Tax Classes page, which shows a list of the previously defined product tax classes.

2. Click the Add New button to display the New Class page

Tax Zones and Rates

Tax rates are generally applicable to transactions that take place in specific geographical areas. The

Tax Zones and Rates feature enables you to specify the tax rate for each geographical area for which you collect and remit taxes. Because you give each tax zone and rate specification a unique identifier, you can have multiple tax rates for a given geographic area (for example, for places that

do not tax food or medicine but tax other products).

Note: Store tax is used for initial display purposes on orders. Store tax is calculated based on the store’s address. Actual customer tax on an order is calculated after a customer enters their information, and then calculates the actual tax based upon your store’s tax configuration.

4. Click the Save Rate button.

Tip: You can export your tax rates to either CSV (comma-separated value) format or Excel XML format using the Export button at the top of the grid. It can be easier to manage your tax rates in a spreadsheet format if you are familiar with the requirements for importing and exporting in CSV or

XML formats.

Tax Management Rules

Tax rules are defined as a combination of a customer tax class and a product tax class with a tax rate.

In other words, based on the class of the customer (customer tax class), the class of the products

(product tax class) in the shopping cart, and the region (tax rate depending on the shipping address, billing address, or shipping origin), calculates the appropriate tax for each order.

Note: When you set up tax options, be sure to set your store scope so that the options are applied across stores and websites appropriately.

To define Tax Management Rules:

1. To define how taxes are charged, select Setup > Tax > Manage Tax Rules to display a list of the previously defined tax rules.

Each tax rule is composed of a customer tax class, a product tax class, and a tax rate.

Tax Rate Select the tax rate to apply for this tax rule.Taxes

Priority Specify the priority of this tax, when more than one tax applies. Lower numbers have higher priority. If two tax rules with the same priority apply then the taxes are added together.

If two taxes with a different priority apply then the taxes are compounded. When taxes are compounded, the first priority tax is calculated on the subtotal amount, and then the second priority tax is calculated on the subtotal plus the first priority tax amount.

Calculate off subtotal only Important: Check this check-box for taxes to be calculated off only the subtotal of the order. This means that for this tax rule, tax applies only to the subtotal of the order.

Sort Order Specify the order in which tax rules are displayed on the Manage Tax Rules page.

Lower numbers have higher sort order in the list.



Free Shipping

Free shipping is one of the most effective promotions you can offer



Table Rate

The table rate shipping method lets you set up a table to calculate shipping rates for a combination of conditions. The shipping rate can be based on the following:

1. Weight v. Destination

2. Price v. Destination

3. # of Items v. Destination

3. # of Items v. Destination e. For orders that include virtual products, set Include Virtual Products in Price

Calculation to “Yes” if you want to be able to include the virtual product(s) in the calculation.

Because virtual products—such as services—have no weight, they cannot change the result of a calculation that is based on the Weight v. Destination condition. However, virtual products can change the result of a calculation that is based on either the Price vs. Destination or # of Items vs Destination condition. f. If charging a handling fee, set Calculate Handling Fee to one of the following:

1. Fixed

2. Percent

Then, enter the Handling Fee rate according to the method used to calculate the fee.

Apart from static options such as flat rates and table rates, Magento also offers dynamic retrieval of rates from various shipping providers.

Note: Most shipping providers require that you open an account with them. Consult your shipping provider for details on how to obtain API credentials.

To enable and configure these shipping methods, expand the appropriate tabs (UPS, USPS,

FedEx, or DHL) and configure the settings. The configuration of this method is similar to the configuration of a Flat Rate, as described above. The exact options depend on the service provider; contact the provider for more information.

Payment

Now that you have a method to calculate the cost of the shipping of your products, you can configure the payment options that enable the collection of money.

In the Admin Panel, select Setup >Payment > Payment Methods.

Merchant Location

Setting the merchant location is the first step to configure any payment method.

1. In the Merchant Location section, set Merchant Country to your country.

2. When complete, click the Save Config button

Bank Transfer Payment

This option lets you accept payments transferred directly from customers bank accounts to your merchant bank account.

Cash On Delivery

This option allows you to accept COD payments from your customers. With a cash on delivery payment, the customer pays at the time of delivery. The customer pays the order amount to the shipping carrier, who sends a check to you. Shipping carriers typically charge an extra fee for COD service. You can account for this fee in your shipping and handling charges

Check /Money Order

This option allows you to accept payments by either check or money order. The Check / Money

Order payment method is enabled for your story by default.

Zero Subtotal Checkout

It can be used for orders with a subtotal of zero that are taxed after any discount has been applied.

This situation might occur when a discount covers the entire price of the purchase, and there is no additional charge for shipping. To save time, these orders can be set to invoice automatically

Saved Credit Cards

This option gives you the ability store credit card numbers to process offline. This method is useful when you have a card terminal in a “brick and mortar” store, or have access to a virtual terminal. As with all online payment methods, it is highly recommended that you configure an SSL certificate for your store

PayPal

PayPal is one of the most popular ways to accept online payments. It enables you to accept credit cards and PayPal accounts.

To set up payment by PayPal Website Payments Standard:

1. Your first step is to create a PayPal merchant account. Please check with PayPal

(www.paypal.com) for detailed instructions.

Managing Orders

This section first describes how to view and manage orders, as well as how to create orders from the back-end.

Viewing the Orders in Your Web Store

To view the orders in your web store:

In the Admin Panel, select Sales > Orders to display the Orders page.This page displays a list of the orders placed in your web store.

The following describes some of the options for managing orders in this page:



Quantity of Orders Displayed: The top part of the page enables you to control how many orders are displayed in the page.



Selecting Orders: The area under the order display controls enables you to select/unselect all the orders in your web store or to select/unselect all the orders currently visible, meaning those that are currently displayed in this page.

Note: You can also select individual orders by selecting the check box on the left of each order.



Filtering Orders: The area under the order selection controls enables you to filter the orders that are displayed by specifying values in one or more of the fields and then clicking Search.

To display all orders, click Reset Filter.



Sorting orders: Click on the header of a column to sort the orders by the value of that column. Each click toggles between an ascending sort and a descending sort.



Order actions: The Actions drop-down list provides a list of actions that may be performed on the selected orders. The actions that can be performed include the following:

1. Cancel: Sets the order status to Canceled and disables any further processing.

2. Hold: Puts the order on hold. The order is not affected in any way, but no further action may be performed unless you release it from Hold status.

3. Unhold: Releases the order from Hold status.

4. Printing options: These options enable you to print various documents related to the order.



Viewing an order: To view and/or edit an existing order, click row for the desired order or click the View option in the order’s row in the Action column. The Order View page opens, showing details about the order.

This section provides a quick review of some of the information provided for an existing order. The navigation bar at the top of the Order View page enables you to access the various sections:

Information, Invoices, Credit Memos, Shipments, Comments History, and Transactions.

Information Page This page provides an overview of the most important information about the order, such as the current status of the order, the products ordered, customer information, billing, shipping, and payment information.

Note: The SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) specifies the product code that is used to keep track of the actual inventory. SKUs are defined during product creation.

The Comments History area of this page provides information about the lifecycle of the order. Every time that an invoice, shipment, or credit memo document is created, a record with each document’s identification is added on this tab. Also, here you can find out whether the customer was notified about the creation of each order document. For each partial refund, the system provides the order amount to be returned to the customer. You can change order status in the Status drop-down list. To add a comment to the order:

1. Specify the comment text in the Comment text box.

2. If you want to send the comment to the customer by email, select the Notify Customer by Email check box.

3. If you want to make the comment visible in the order view on the frontend, select the Visible on

Frontend check-box to specify that the customer is sent a copy of the comments that you add in the

Comment box.

4. Click Submit Comment.

All comments are stored on the Comments History page. To open it, click the Comments History tab on the left.

Invoices Page

An invoice represents a confirmation of payment. The Invoices page enables you to view the list of invoices generated for an order.

You can generate an invoice individually or together with a shipment. If the products in an order are shipped in multiple shipments, then an invoice is generated for each shipment for the products in that shipment.

Credit Memos

The Credit Memos page displays a list of the refunds given for products in this order. You can click on a credit memo in the list to display the refund details.

Shipments Page

A shipment is a record of the products in an order that have been shipped. As with invoices, multiple shipments can be created per order.

The Shipment page displays a list of the shipments sent for products in this order. You can click on a shipment in the list to display the shipment details.

On the Shipment page, you can also add tracking numbers that were received fromshipping service providers. The tracking number enables customers to learn the status of the shipments in their orders using the My Account option that appears in the header of the front end. For the supported shipping service providers you can create and print shipping labels form the Shipment page.

Comment History Page

The Comment History page enables you to view a list of comments that have been added to the order record over the course of its life cycle. It is a good practice to add comments at every stage of the order, especially if problems come up.

Transactions Page

The Transactions page enables you to view a list of transactions that are associated with this order.

Creating New Orders

You may want to create an order using the backend, for example when an order is received over the phone.

Tip: Typically, orders are placed by customers in the frontend. In addition, you can create orders in the backend. This enables you to take orders by phone, mail or fax and then enter them into your web store to be managed and tracked. This feature is useful for call center operators to take orders directly from your customers. The ordering process in the backend is not much different from the one your customers experience. The backend provides all the same functions that your customers have when creating an order from your web store, including the ability to move products between the shopping cart and wishlist. It also enables you to give customers special prices and discounts.

To create a new order from the backend:

1. Select Sales > Orders.

2. Click the Create New Order button on the top right.

A full description of this procedure is provided in “Managing Orders,”.

Promotions

Here are a few ways you can use price rules to offer incentives to your customers:



Send your best customers a coupon for a discount on a specific product



Offer free shipping for purchases over a certain amount



Schedule a promotion for a period of time

With price rules, you can set up your promotions in advance, so they spring into action whenever the required conditions are met.

Catalog Price Rules

Catalog Price Rules are applied to products before they are added to a shopping cart. They can be used to create sales and discounts that do not require that a discount code be supplied by the customer. The process of defining a Catalog Price Rule consists of three stages:



Defining the Catalog Price Rule Information



Defining the Catalog Price Rule Conditions



Defining the Catalog Price Rule Actions

Add a New Rule

1. In Admin >Promotions >Catalog Price Rules

2. In the upper-right corner, click the Add New Rule button

3. On the Rule Information page, do the following: a. Complete the Rule Name and Description fields. These fields are for your internal reference only. b. Set Status to “Active.” c. Select the Websites where the rule will be available. d. Select the Customer Groups to which this rule applies. e. Set From Date and To Date to define the range of dates when the rule will be in effect. If you leave the dates blank, the rule is enabled as soon as the price rule is saved. f. Enter a number to establish the Priority of this rule in relation to other rules

4. Select the Conditions option in the panel

5. The first rule appears by default:

If ALL these Conditions are TRUE. It specifies whether the rules that you define must all be met or if any of them can be met (AND or OR) in order to trigger the rule’s action.

In our example, we wanted the discount to take effect when the product is a T-shirt and when the Tshirt costs over $20. Therefore, leave the word ALL in the page above.

6. Click on the icon to display a selection field and select the SKU option under Product Attributes from the drop down menu.

4. Click on the is link to display the comparison operator drop-down list shown in

5. Select the is one of comparison operator.

6. Click on the three dots to the right of the words is one of to display the value field,

7. Click on the Chooser icon to display a list of products from which you can select.

8. Select the check boxes of the products (T-shirts in this example) to which this rule is to apply.

9. Save this selection of products by clicking the Apply icon.

10. Now this rule specifies that it applies to T-shirts. You must now add the Condition that the product must cost over $20 in order for the rule to apply. To do so, click on the icon to display a selection field and select the Price option under Product Attributes from the drop-down list.

11. Click on the is link and select equals or greater than from the comparison operator drop-down list.

12. Enter the value 20.00 in the value field on the right to create the second Condition

13. Select the Actions option in the panel on the left to display the page

14. The Apply drop-down list enables you to define whether the discount that is specified in the

Discount amount field is a percentage or a fixed amount of the price of this product. It also enables you to define whether the discount amount is subtracted from the original price (By) or whether the

Discount amount field actually defines the final price (To). For our example, in the Apply field, select

By Percentage of the original price.

15. In the Discount Amount field, specify the value 10.00. This specification defines a final price that is a 10% reduction of the original price.

Note: Mistakenly selecting the To Percentage of the original price option would give a final price that is equal to 10% of the original price, meaning a 90% reduction.

16. Select the Save Rule button to create the rule.

17. You must also select either the Save and Apply or the Apply Rules button to immediately apply this discount to the selected products.

Shopping Cart Price Rules

Step 1: Add a NewRule

Uses per Coupon Determines how many times the coupon code can be used. If there is no limit, leave the field blank.

Uses per Customer Determines how many times the coupon code can be used by the same registered customer who belongs to any of the selected customer groups. The setting does not apply to guest shoppers who are members of the NOT LOGGED IN customer group, or to customers who shop without logging in to their accounts. If there is no limit, leave the field blank.

6. To define the “good through” date range for the promotion, do the following: a. Click the Calendar button next to the From Date field, and choose the first date. The promotion will start at the beginning of that day. b. Click the Calendar button next to the To Date field, and choose the last date. The promotion will stop at the end of that day.



For shipment with matching items Free shipping is available for the entire cart when a coupon that is based on the rule is used.

6. Set Stop Further Rules Processing to “Yes” to stop processing other rules as soon as this one is applied. This safeguard prevents customers from receiving multiple discounts for the same purchase.

Admin store provides a variety of simple-to-use design options that enable you to apply your own customized look-and-feel to your web store with basic HTML knowledge.

Managing CMS Pages

Content Management System (CMS) pages are static pages such as your Homepage, About Us and

Customer Service pages that provide information about the web store and are managed through the

Back-end panel. CMS Pages are full pages that are available via their own URL addresses. Static

Blocks are sections of code or graphics that can be referenced inside CMS pages as well as Category landing pages. They are page elements that can be reused and referenced throughout your site.

Cache/Index

Index Management

Indexing is how Magento transforms data such as products, categories, and so on, to improve the performance of your web store. As data changes, the transformed data must be updated—or reindexed. Magento has very sophisticated architecture that stores merchant data (including catalog data, prices, users, stores, and so on) in many database tables. To optimize storefront performance,

Magento accumulates data into special tables using indexers.

1. On the Admin menu, select Advanced>Cache/Index > Index Management.

2.Select the check-box of each item to be re-indexed.

3. Set Actions to “Re-index Data.”

4. Click the Submit button

Cache Management

Using Magento’s cache management system is an easy way to improve the performance of your site.

The Cache Storage Management page shows the status of each primary cache and its associated tag.

Whenever one of the caches needs to be refreshed, a notice appears at the top of the workspace to guide you through the process.

1. On the Admin menu, select Advanced>Cache/Index > Cache Management.

2. Do one of the following:



For each cache that needs to be refreshed, click the checkbox at the beginning of the row.



To select a group, click one of the selection options above the list.

3. Set Actions to “Refresh,” and click the Submit button

4. Click the c product image cache ,JavaScript/CSS cache buttons to flush it

Managing Data Transfer

The Import/Export tool gives you the ability to manage multiple customer and product records in a single operation. If you have a large catalog of products, you will find it much easier to export the data, edit the data in a spreadsheet, and then import the data back into your store.

The CSV file format separates each data element by a comma, and is used as the standard for data exchange operations. All spreadsheet and database applications support the CSV file format. If you are working with a Mac, you should save the data in the CSV (Windows) format.

You can use Advanced->Import/Export menu for this.
