Cart Options I want my general products page to contain: This is where you select what you want to display on your General Products page, which is the page that visitors will get to when they click on "Products" and represented by the link token {f3products}. Select one of the options given: Special Offers Only (if any): Selecting this option will display Special Offers, which are products that have both a Regular Price and an On Sale price defined. A "Related Categories" section will also be shown under the products for easier navigation within the current page. If this option is selected and there are no Special Offers in your Product Tree, your General Products Page will display your standard products. Special Deals Only (if any): Selecting this option will display Special Deals, which are products that are included in deals that are defined within Product Categories (Products beyond this point may reflect a 2nd product discounted by a percentage - Buy one, get the 2nd Product Discounted by ___%). If this option is selected and there are no Special Deals in your Product Tree, your General Products Page will display your standard products. All Products / Services: Selecting this option will display all of your web store's Products in the order in which they are in on the Product Tree. All products in all categories and sub-categories will be included. Categories and Sub Categories: Selecting this option will display only your Main Level Categories on your General Products Page (as "Related Categories"). Selecting this option will also make your shopping cart only display the Sub-Categories of a Parent Category, if a Parent Category is clicked on (on the Categories Menu) and if it has no products directly under it (only Sub-Categories) Category Pages should contain the following information: Checkmark only the options for the pieces of information that you would like to display on your Category Pages. Category pages show several products in each page, so if too much information is being displayed it may sometimes overcrowd your category pages with text. You can also specify how many products you want to display per category page. FORTUNE3 recommends that you do not display more than 15-30 products per page, as too many images loading on a page may bring slow loading times on your Category pages.

The "Search / Sort Toolbar" Allows your customers to search for products in a category page by specific options such as Price Ranges, In-stock products, Special Offers, Brand, Custom Fields, or by keywords, and will also allow them to sort (order) the results by Name, Price, or SKU. This will search and show the results for all matching products within the current category. You can also disable and fully customize each particular category's Search Toolbar in the Category Properties window under "Search Toolbar Options", while leaving this checkbox enabled to leave the toolbar working in other categories. Related Categories: Displays any sub-categories that are within the current category, or all other categories within the same parent category.
