How TO: Setting up Attributes and allocating them to a product.
Tutorial on setting up attributes and allocating them to a product in zencart. Step by step instructions.
The basics of this is in 3 parts:
All found in the Catalog Menu.
1. Option Name Manager: This is where you create the name of the option, e.g. Colour
2. Option Value Manager: This is where you create the ‘possible’ values of a option name.
e.g. Blue , Red
3. Attributes Controller: This is where you allocate option name and option values to a product.
So, when setting up attributes, you do it in that order, 1 then 2 then 3.
More detail:
Example of setting up an option called ‘Colour’ , allocating 2 values to it ‘Blue, Red’ and then allocating it to a product.
1. Option Name Manager.
a. Select Catalog -> Option Name Manager
b. in the ‘en’ box type in the name of the option: Size
c. in the order box, enter 1
d. leave it as a dropdown (as there will be choices for this option).
e. Click Insert.
2. Option Value Manager.
a. Select Catalog -> Option Value Manager
b. In the option box ensure Colour is selected.
c. Enter the first value of Red into the ‘en’ box

Update Your Products Automatically
Updating your products can be a pain, and a very time consuming one. Constantly having to check if your products are in stock, what new products there are, price changes etc. The administration for making sure your shop products are up to date can be a nightmare, especially if you have hundreds or thousands of products. An impossible task to be done accurately and quickly.
The majority of suppliers can provide a data feed containing their products. For zencart shop owners this can be a life saver. However, what you find is that the data feed is not compatible with importing into Zen Cart so manual amendments have to be made to ensure the file can be imported. Whats more, you have to look for new and amended products where you have to manually upload the images.
RapidSSL Certificate
For every ecommerce website, a dedicated SSL Secure certificate is advised. It gives your site a professional touch and makes your customers feel secure.
The Certificate includes a dedicated IP address. At this time, we only install dedicated SSL certificates to websites hosted with iwebshop.
Stable, 128/256 bit single root install SSL certificates ideal for lite ecommerce.
If you intend using the SSL Certificate to allow you to take credit cards online for your shop, then we will install any relevant module to your shop (Zen cart shops only). For instance, PROTX Direct, Paypal Web Payments Pro.
