Once you have the ecommerce plugins on your web page, you may control every detail about the product through the web administration console.

Product Detail Management
Manage all aspects of your products online, changing the details of any of your products, such as price, description, category, weight, stock levels, if its on special offer or if the product has any buyer choice options customisations.
-
Changes to Your Products are Automatically Shown on Your Website : Once you have your ecommerce plugins in place on your website, any changes you make to your product details through the administration console will automatically take effect without making any changes to your website. This makes on going management of your online shop so much easier.
Realtime Stock Quantity Control and Inventory Management
If you only want to allow customers to buy products you have in stock, you can use ShopIntegrators stock control feature. You have the capability of specifying the quantity of each product and letting ShopIntegrator manage your stock levels, displaying items as out of stock when your stock levels go to zero, blocking customer from purchasing items you do not have.
-
Out of Stock: Avoid overselling products that become out of stock with ShopIntegrator's advanced stock control capabilities. Your ecommerce plugins will automatically start displaying when a product is out of stock so that a customer is unable to purchase a product that you are unable to provide.

- Avoid Overselling a Product: It is just like owning a real high-street shop. If one customer puts an item into their shopping basket and the item then becomes out of stock, other shoppers will no longer be able to add the same item to their basket. When the item is in the shopper's basket, your stock levels become temporarily reduced to avoid multiple shoppers all putting the same item in their basket at the same time, which could result in a product being over-sold more times than you are able to supply.
- Virtual Shop Assistant: Your virtual shop assistant will take any discarded un-purchased items in shoppers baskets and return them back to your shops virtual shelves so that any temporary out of stock signs are removed.
- Automcatically Promote In Stock Product Options: Your ecommerce plugins actively promote the product options you have in stock, automatically showing these options ahead of the options that are out of stock when your page loads.
- Stock Quantity Control On or Off: If you prefer to sell items regardless of whether you have them in stock, you may switch stock control off. This way, none of your products will show as out of stock and every customer will be able to purchase all your items without constraint.
Special Offers
Create a set of special offers independant of any individual product, such as a '10% Off Summer Discount' or a '25% New Years Sale'. You may then apply the same special offer to individual products or apply the offer to a product category so that all products which belong to the category will have the discount applied.
Creating special offers allows you to modify the cost of a product without having to change its price directly. Ideal for temporary discounts or sales as it avoids having to change all of your product prices whilst you sell them at a discount for the special offer period before having to change the prices back to their original values when offer ends. You simply remove the special offer and the product will return to its original price.
- Money Off Offers: Create a special offer which reduces a products price by a fixed amount.
- Percentage Off Discounts: Create a special offer that reduces a products price by any percentage amount which you wish.
-
Ecommerce Plugins Show that a Product is on Offer: You'll want your customers to know that they are getting a great deal so they will be more likey to buy the product when it is on offer. Your ecommerce plugin will show the prouct price with the special offer applied as well as the pre-offer price so that they know just how much money they will be saving!

Product Categories
Create product categories to group your products together. A product may belong to many different groups, for instance, a Chair could belong to a 'Chairs' category, a 'Dining Room Furniture' category and it could also be in a 'Sale' category.
- Perform Actions to All Products in a Category: It is possible to apply certain actions to all products in a category in one go. Say for instance that you created a special offer for a 10% discount, you may want to apply this special offer to all products in your 'Sale' category in one step.
- Sell an Entire List of Products in a Category: There is an ecommerce plugin which allows you to sell an entire list of products belonging to a category. As you add and remove products to a category, your plugin will automaically show the latest list of products which belong to the category. Read more about the ecommerce plugins here »
Product Buyer Choice Options
You may need to give your shoppers a wider range of customisation on their purchase, such as the product Colour, Size, Shape, Pattern, or anything else you can think of! Buyer Choice Options give you the power to create any lists' of customisations for your products.
-
Write Your Options Once, Re-use Again and Again: Often, many products need to share the same type of customisations. For example, maybe you sell a range of different types of jacket, all in Small, Medium and Large? With ‘Buyer Choice Options' you only have to create the list of options once, then share the same list across all products that need it. Suddenly, if you start selling your range of jackets in 'Extra Large', simply add the new size to your list and all the products which share the list will now have 'Extra Large' as a new option, without you having to change your website.
-
Change Product Prices Based on the Selected Option: The customer's selection may purely be a cosmetic difference or you may want to change the price of the product depending on the choice they make. With Buyer Choice Options, if you wish, you have the ability to increase or decrease the price of the product based on the shopper's selection. For example, if you are selling cotton T-shirts with different designs, maybe you would want to charge your shopper extra if they chose an option to have the T-shirt made from your deluxe cotton range, or you would want to charge less if the shopper wanted a plain T-shirt without a design? You have the ability to simply add a price supplement to the deluxe cotton option and a price reduction to the plain design option. The customer will see that there is an additional cost if they choose the deluxe cotton option and money off if they choose the plain design option.
