Store Setup and Management
From zFairs Contest Management
Adding group items to the store
- Open Store Items Manager
- Click Add
- First build the 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
