    • Category name — This is the display name for the category on the home page.
    • Parent category — Child categories are nested beneath their parent category.
    • Category description — Because a category only houses products and other categories, this is where you give information about it.

  7. On the SEO tab, enter your SEO information so your categories are visible on search engines results:
    • Image alt text — If your browser cannot display an image from a website, then the ALT tag displays the description of the image as text.
    • Meta tag title — The meta tag title should include keywords that help people locate your store.
    • Description — Description meta tags should be a sentence describing or summarizing the category.
    • Meta tag keywords — Keyword meta tags should list the words or phrases that describe the category of products your are selling. Separate keywords with commas.

6014 - Changing Option Display Order in Quick Shopping Cart

Once you've added options to your Quick Shopping Cart® product, they display on your storefront. Changing their display order can enhance your storefront's appearance and affect how visitors purchase your products.

For Standalone Options, change the display order so your storefront looks better to shoppers or to keep items consistent.

For Configurable Variation Options, the order in which the options display affects how customers order the product. For example, if you are selling a T-shirt with Configrable Variation Options of size and color, you want to put size as the first configurable option. That way, a customer can select their size and then see which colors are available.

TIP: For example of how you can use these options, see Using the Product Variations Grid in Quick Shopping Cart.

To Change the Order in which Product Options Display

  1. Log in to your Quick Shopping Cart account.
  2. From the Manage menu, in the Catalog section, select Products.
  3. Select the product to edit.
  4. On the Options tab, click the Move Up or Move Down arrow to reposition your options.
  5. Click Save.
