Organize Your Catalog

Brands, categories and attributes give your catalog its structure, so you can filter, report on and publish products by what they are. You define each list once under Settings, then assign values to each product on its Taxonomy tab. Start with how the pieces fit together, set up the lists you need, and use the attribute reference when you choose an attribute's data type. Cost categories, which classify landed and other costs, are managed here too.
