Fabrics is a list you make of materials or kinds of product, such as "Cotton", "Silk" or "Georgette". Each has a name and a small image. You pick one fabric on each product, and shoppers can then filter your shop's product list by it.
Where to find it
Admin › Online store › Products › Fabrics. The store owner sees it, and so does staff with the Products & stock feature ticked in Users & logins.
How it works
- You make the list. In Fabrics, type a Fabric Name, add a Fabric Image if you like, and press Save.
- You pick one on each product. On the product form, choose it in Product Fabrics and save.
- Shoppers use it in the Fabrics filter on the shop's product list (/products-list), which shows every fabric in your list.
Fabrics no longer appear on your shop's /brands page. That page now lists your Brands (see the brands article below).
For example, "Rangdhanu Fashion" adds Cotton, Linen and Silk. A shopper who wants only linen ticks Linen in the filter and sees just those products.
Not a clothing shop?
The list works for anything that groups your products by what they are made of or what kind they are. A shoe shop can add "Leather" and "Canvas". The heading on the shop's filter still says "Fabrics", so pick a use that suits that word. For brands, use Products › Brands instead.
Good to know
- One per product. A product can have one fabric. Use Tags for extra words.
- Images are resized to 100 × 50 pixels. A simple, wide picture or logo looks best.
- Top fabrics: tick fabrics in the list and press Active Top Fabric to mark them (the Fabric Top column shows "yes"). De-active Top Fabric removes the mark.
- The fabric list is your shop's own. Other stores never see it.
Common problems
- Ticking a fabric in the filter shows no products. No product has it picked yet. Open the products and choose it in Product Fabrics.
- I want brands, not materials. Add them in Products › Brands and pick the Brand on each product. See the brands article below.
