Shopping items
Managing shopping items within an online shop is one of the most important activities for a merchant. It involves item creation, inventory/stock management, pricing, and so on. In this section, we will create shopping items for our flower shop.
Item categories
Let's think how a merchant arranges the items in his/her shop. He/she usually arranges similar products together. This will make his/her life easier. It also helps his/her customers to quickly locate their choice of item. Putting similar items together is nothing but categorization. The Shopping portlet provides a way to categorize items. So, before creating the shopping items, let's create item categories first.
