Overview

What are Manufacturers?

Manufacturers (or Brands) help you keep track of where products are coming from, and can help your site visitors find products using brands they know or are comfortable with. You  must have at least one manufacturer in the database, as every product MUST be assigned to a manufacturer. If you manufacture your own products, add your company as the manufacturer. Various AppConfig parameters control how manufacturer's information are displayed on the site. In some sites, no manufacturer information is visible at all, even though it is stored in the database.

Manufacturers are managed from the Manufacturers menu on the admin site.

 

What is the Manufacturer's Menu?

It contains options that manages the data of every manufacturer of the products involved in the company's business as well as performs the necessary configurations for setting these data in the store website. To access, login to the admin site. Click on Manufacturers. There are three (3) ways to use this menu:

 

1) Manufacturers Menu - clicking on this menu itself will display the list of manufacturers that allows you to access and modify the manufacturer's account information. Also, this is exactly the same page that show up when you click the Add Manufacturer submenu.

2) Add New Manufacturer (Submenu) -allows the administrator to add a new manufacturer of the products they are .selling.

3) Generic Manufacturer (Submenu) - this is the default example of an added manufacturer wherein you can customize the specifications.
