You can organize your products into departments to create logical categories. This helps customers browse, and understand where to look for products.

Product descriptions can be displayed in multiple departments. You can also add multiple levels of sub-departments by positioning department locations above or below other departments.

How do I add a product department?

1. From the Setup section of the Shopping Cart menu, click Products & Departments.
2. Click the Add Department button.
3. Determine to which eStore your department should be added.
4. Enter the Department Name.
5. From the Department Location drop-down menu, choose a location, in relation to other departments.
   • Select Top Level Department if this department should be displayed on the same level as your other top level departments.

   • Once saved, if there were any sub-departments associated with this moved department, they will also have been moved.
