In this section, you manually manage product categorisation. However, it's important to note that in Nettailer, you can only edit categories that you have created yourself. Additionally, it's not possible to delete categories, whether they are system-created or manually created.
The section manages the products into categories. Nettailer is set up with basic categorization based on information provided by 1WorldSync, with some refinement from Netset. Listed are the names of each main category. When a category is clicked on you can then see what specific products (or subcategories) are linked to that category. You can create your own category and link sub-categories to it; however, you can’t edit or delete any of the pre-defined categories.
Categories or parts of categories with no associated products will not display in the store.
To add a category, click on "Create". Fill in the name and code, and specify the sort order of the category with an integer. If no sort order is specified for a category, it will be sorted by last name. The code should be two-digits and consist of letters A - Z.
Clicking “Do not change the name” on imports prevents the imports from renaming the category. Finish by clicking on "Save & Close" or "Save".
