Instructions specific to your store:

    Adding and Editing Products

    Editing Configurable Products

    The video below shows how to set up and edit the dropdown (configuration) options for products in the store. 

    The overall steps when setting up completely new options are:

    1. Create a product for the specific add-on product item (SKU, price, weight). (or use an existing Parts product)

    2. Create the option/dropdown holding the add-on product item(s) and None.

    3. Create the option set holding the set of options/dropdowns and link that set to the product(s) that use it.

    Add or Edit Option Descriptions

    Add a Document to a Product (and update Specs and FAQs)

    Understanding and editing Shipping Info for Products (Parcels and LTL Freight)

    Set a Product to be Dealer-Only

    For products that you do NOT want the public to be able to buy, but you DO want dealers to be able to buy it.

    • Find the Product in the Products list and look at the product details.
    • Under More Actions dropdown at the top of the page, select Edit MetaFields
    • Scroll to the bottom of that page and toggle the product On/Off for being sold online. (note that the toggle is a little counter-intuitive as to which is on - if it's "IN" or looks pressed down, that is on)
    • Save

    Editing Featured Products on the Home page and Collections pages

    • Go to Products
    • Search for the product you want to feature (by name or SKU)
    • Click on the product name to view the product details

    • Save

    Editing Prices

    Gandy Company can change the price for any item at any time using the Products link in the admin area.

    For your once a year updates:

    IF you ONLY are changing prices and product descriptions, but are not changing any other product information, here's the process.
    • Click on the EXPORT button at the top of the Products page in the admin area.
    • That will export a list of all of the products on the site with their main product information (what you see if you click on the product name to edit it on the site).  This includes the product name, description and PRICE.
    • Open the exported file and edit prices and descriptions with Excel (don't change any columns or remove any rows)
    • Save as CSV
    • On the Products page, click on the IMPORT button to import that CSV and update your prices.  (or email it to us at changes@internet-connections.net)
    IF you want to change info like weights, dimensions for shipping and other info with a mass import, contact Internet Connections.
