Setting Up Advanced Parameters (More Section)

 Upload Products do not have Advanced Parameters.

To set up advanced parameters:

1.       In the External ID field, enter a unique product identification number. This is useful when creating custom made plug-ins for uStore.

2.       From the Product Manufacturer list, select one of the predefined manufacturers to which you wish to assign your product. If you are not using an external manufacturer and manufacture your products yourself, select Produced internally. If you want to assign your product to a new manufacturer, click the Add new manufacturer link.
The Add Manufacturer window is displayed.

3.       Fill in the required fields as follows:

      Manufacturer display name: Mandatory. The name of the manufacturer as it will be displayed in Storefront.

      Description: A short description.

      Address: Fill in all the required fields for the manufacturer’s address. The manufacturer’s address will be considered as the Pickup Address in a store offering delivery services.

      Validate Address with Carriers: Manufacturer’s address must be validated if your store is using delivery carriers such as UPS or Fedex.
In the Validate account list, select the UPS or Fedex account and click the Validate link.

4.       Click Save.
The manufacturer details will be saved in the Manufacturer Setup table in the Presets view.

 Composite Manufacturer settings will override Manufacturer settings of all Component Products.

5.       Requires Order Approval: When the checkbox is selected, if the store has set up an order approval process, ordering this product will require approval. If you clear the checkbox, ordering of the product will not require approval. For further details, see Order Approval Process.

 This option appears only if an approval process has been set up for the store.
