Choosing What Products to Sell
The RPMWare product catalog is extemely flexible – you have complete control of what products are shown (and sold) on your website. You may add your own products and choose to display all, or any subset of, the products our data team maintains for you.
Choosing what to sell is accomplished by disabling what you don't want to sell. Here's how it works.
Catalog Heirarchy
The catalog is organized into a hierarchy of brands
, categories
, product groups
, items
, and fitments
.
- Every
item
has one or morefitments
and belongs to oneproduct group
. - Every
product group
belongs to abrand
and is assigned to acategory
. - Every
fitment
has amake
(e.g. BMW, Nissan, Porsche) and amodel
(e.g. M3, 350Z, 911).
Catalog Flexibility
This heirarchy gives you the flexibility to sell exactly what you want by disabling the brands
, categories
, product groups
, items
, makes
, and models
you don't want. Your choices will cascase both up and down. For example:
- Disabling the ACT
brand
will remove all ACTproduct groups
anditems
from your site. - Disabling the ACT Clutch Kit - Heavy Duty (HD)
product group
will remove allitems
within that group from your site. - Disabling the Honda
make
will remove allitems
that only fit Honda, and allproduct groups
,brands
, andcategories
that only contain items that fit Honda.
RPMWare will always analyze the entire catalog (including the relationships between different entities in the heirarchy) to ensure that your site shows the exact parts you want it to.
