Store Setup and Management

From zFairs Contest Management

Adding group items to the store

  1. Open Store Items Manager
  2. Click Add
  3. First build the group/package header:
Store group/package header
    • Give the header a name that describes what the user is looking for
    • Select who can purchase the items
    • Upload an image if wanted and provide a description or instructions
    • For item cost, enter 1 or 0 (dollar amount). Because this is a header for grouped items of varying prices, keep this as an undisclosed/placeholder amount
    • Item Type matters: it can open extra fields (e.g. housing package for chaperones/roommates). If unsure, choose normal or leave empty for a simple dropdown
    • Select the Filter option in the Group Item field so you can attach items to this group
    • Leave Group With Item blank
    • Save

Adding an item to the group

Same process with these differences:

  • Name the item
  • Select who can purchase it — the header often sells to anyone; individual items can hide options from certain user types
  • Pictures/descriptions of items in a group usually don’t show in the dropdown — can leave blank
  • Give the item a real price
  • Leave Item Type and Group Item empty
  • In Group with Item, select the header name to attach the item
  • Save and repeat for each package item
