Catalogue Group Guide
Overview
Grouping Catalogue Items allows you to sell the same product with different prices and payment options, i.e. direct debit or credit card payments. This is especially useful for displaying multiple buying options and reporting purposes.
Create your Catalogue Items
Firstly, you need to create your Catalogue Items, each with its own prices and payment methods. Please note: In order for you to group a Catalogue Item, you must select its payment method.
Control > Commerce > Catalogue Items > Catalogue Item
Note: You need to set up the payment method before you can select them. Here’s a full guide on how to set up a payment method: www.affino.com/affinohelp/commerce-guides/payment-gateways-overview
Create the Catalogue Group
Once you have created the Catalogue Items, you can now group them. Here’s how to create a Catalogue Group:
Control > Commerce > Catalogue Groups
- Name - Enter a name for this Catalogue Group.
- Description - Enter a description for this Catalogue Group.
- Catalogue Items - Select the Catalogue Items for this Group. Sort the order in which they are displayed on the basket screen.
Product Article settings
Each of your catalogue items will have an associated article of type Product.
Every product article has the 'Hide from Listing' option (within the Advanced panel):
This option is used to display the products (from your catalogue group) that you want listed and hide the ones you dont.
Example:
- Product 1 (Hide from Listing disabled)
- Product 2 (Hide from Listing enabled)
- Product 3 (Hide from Listing enabled)
In the above scenario, Product 1 will be displayed and Products 2 and 3 will not.
Thus, when someone buys the one that isnt hidden (Product 1) they will see the other two (Product 2 & Product 3) as options in the basket.
Tip
On the Catalogue Item, you have a Catalogue Group Title, here you can add an alternative label if you don’t wish to display the Catalogue Item name. For example, rather than displaying Digital Edition GoCardless, you can display Pay by Direct Debit
