The bindCommerce product management allows you to store information relating to the products passing through the platform, possibly enriching them with additional data that cannot be managed at the origin nodes.

The list of products can be reached from the menu

Catalog >> Products

where it is possible to consult both the specific product data and the information connected to it:

• Categories: each product can be linked to one or more categories
• Prices: each product can be associated with one or more prices on one or more price lists
• Attributes: here we find the attribute values (e.g. size / color)
• Alternatives: the alternative descriptions are used to manage different ways of presenting a product: in different languages and / or with the application of templates on the description

By clicking on the Edit symbol in the second column from the left, you can access the details of the individual article. Let's see what information you can have access to.

Among the product data we can observe:

Manual product selection

In this section you can manually select the products of interest for managing filters on the connectors (for example to specify which products will be published on a specific website). It is possible to use a simple selection (Yes / No), or one based on tags (divided by commas), according to your needs.

Free fields

This section allows you to enter data regarding the product which can then be recalled in sections such as the parameters for the preparation of Amazon offers or the templates, in order to add further details if necessary.

Section dedicated to indexing, in which you can insert Meta title, Meta Description and Meta keywords to be sent to connected e-Commerce.
