Categories
The «Categories» section, as the name implies, allows you to catalog the Products of your shop, creating for the user a tree-like structure of data presentation.
To go to the Product Categories settings go to your Bot:
☞ 🔐Admin | 🛒Shop | Categories
«Categories», «Items» and «Storage» are sections necessary for the operation and management of the content (products) of your shop.
The Storage section contains advanced Product options - by default, it is disabled and may not be visible in the menu.
❖ Category Menu
This section allows you to manage the categories of Items in your shop. The created categories will be displayed at the top of the menu.
At the bottom of the menu, for ease of use, there are buttons «Items» and «Storage» for quick movement between sections. This is convenient when actively editing or creating a new Shop.
Add Category
Allows you to add a new Category. Adding occurs using a step-by-step Wizard.
Before adding a new category, make sure that you are in the right category from those existing in your shop.
To create a Category, you must specify:
Name of a category
A short and capacious name that will give an opportunity to get an idea of the content of the category. Don't use too long titles - one or two words should be enough.
Maximum name length: 100 characters.
Description of a category
Describe the contents of the category in one sentence.
Maximum description length: 250 characters.
You can use any Bot's macros in this message.
Items display template
Select one of the templates you have created earlier, or click «Template of Parent Category» - in this case, the template you have set earlier for its parent category will be used for this category as well.
Templates for displaying Items in categories are created in the «Storage» settings, if no template has been created, the default system template used for the Shop's Root Category will be applied to the new one.
❖ Category management
The created categories are represented by the lower menu buttons. To select a category in order to change its settings (in the «Categories» mode), press the button with its name once. The button of the category being edited will be highlighted with square brackets. The data of the category selected for editing and the necessary controls, are represented in chat, under the message with inline buttons. To change the desired category settings, click the appropriate inline button.
Delete, Move Category
Removing and Moving categories is similar to managing the buttons of the lower menu of your bot, so we will not dwell on the process itself.
Change Category
Provides the ability to edit previously entered data of the selected category. The same Settings Wizard that was used for its creation (Addition) is used for editing.
Hide Category
The created category can be hidden from users. To do this (if it is not already hidden), click the button named: «Visible».
Show Category
The hidden category can be shown to users again. To do this (if it is currently hidden), click the «Hidden» button.
Hidden categories will be separately marked in the message with its data.
