There are some global settings that will allow you to tune the system to create a great online experience for your customers.
Categories –Categories may be up to 4 levels deep.A single product may belong to multiple categories.
Search Filters - By using search filters, you can define search criteria that provide better control to achieve more effective and efficient searches. For example a fashion site may wish to allow an on-line customer to define the occasion for which they require a pair of shoes – Party, Work, Ball, Wedding etc.They may also be interested in a particular colour and size.By establishing against the product what occasion(s) it would suit the customer can then be presented with a select list of products.
Clusters – these are groups of associated product that you may like to present as side sells. Using these filters enriches the customer experience by showing depth and thought about a product and improves the chances of them purchasing multiple items. For example a fashion store presents a blouse then they may like to show the other garments that go to make up that story – the jacket, skirt, shoes and bag.
