Category and product page

Settings for product lists in categories and for the product page. Open Octemplates → Trust OCTemplates - template settings, the “Settings” tab, then “Category page type” and “Product page”.

Product list

These settings apply to categories, search, specials and the manufacturer page.

Setting	What it does
Default catalog view	Grid, list or price list — until the shopper picks another view. The shopper’s choice is remembered.
Show subcategory image	Images in subcategory tiles.
“Not available” at the end of the list	Out-of-stock products are listed after the ones in stock.
Enable model	The model code in the product card in lists.
Enable attributes and Limit of attributes	Specifications in product cards in List and Grid views and how many to show.
Show sorting and type of display products?	The bar above products with sorting and the view switcher.
Show quantity selection?	A quantity field next to the “Buy” button. Works only in the Price list view.
Display “Show more”?	A button under the list that loads the next page of products without reloading.
Enable infinite scrolling	Next products load automatically as you scroll. Works only together with the “Show more” button.

Sorting options

In the “Sorting options” table tick the options shoppers see in the sort list, and in the “By default” column — the sorting a category opens with.

Available options, in ascending and descending order: sort order, name, price, rating, product code, date added, quantity and popularity.

Limits

• Products limit per page — how many products on one category page.
• Characters limit — the length of the short product description in the list.

Category page

Setting	What it does
Category description	Where to show the description: above or below the products.
Description on pagination pages	Turn off to show the description only on the first page and not repeat it on the next ones — better for SEO.
Category description expanded	Long descriptions (over 700 characters) are shown in full, without the “Read more” button.
Add page number to meta title and description	For pages 2, 3… adds the number to meta tags if the OCTemplates SEO generator is enabled, so pagination pages don’t share the same titles.
Show subcategories	Subcategory tiles above the product list.
Show subcategories products	A parent category also shows products from all its subcategories.
Show “Landing pages”	Links to landing pages set in the category editor.

On the manufacturer page you can turn on manufacturer logos.

Product page

The “Product page” tab controls what is shown on the product page.

Photos, description and specifications

Setting	What it does
Move YouTube videos from description to photo gallery	Videos embedded in the product description are shown in the gallery next to the photos.
Collapse product description	A long description is collapsed and expands with the “Read more” button.
Enable “Images zoom”	Product photo zoom.
Enable “Main characteristics” and the attributes limit	A short list of key specifications in the right column of the product page.
Reviews and questions limit	How many reviews and questions to show at once.
Display blog articles	OCTemplates blog articles this product is added to.

Purchase

Setting	What it does
Show quantity selection	A quantity field next to the “Buy” button.
Enable “FAQ”	A tab with shoppers’ questions about the product.
Enable “Sets”	The “Profitable set” block. Sets are created in the “Products sets” module.
Show countdown timer	Shows how much time is left until the special price ends.

Product codes

Showing SKU, Model, UPC, EAN, JAN, ISBN and MPN is enabled separately. Show only the codes you fill in for products and that are useful for shoppers.

Additional tab

A tab with the same text for all products — for example, delivery or warranty terms. Turn on “Enable additional tab?” and fill in the title and text for each language.

The “HTML content” field is shown on the product page after the “Buy in one click” button — for example, an installment banner or a widget.

Manufacturer block

A block about the official brand representative on the product page: “Official Apple dealer” and so on.

1. Add a block

   Click “Add manufacturer description block” and set the block title.

2. Choose manufacturers

   Turn on “All manufacturers” or select them in “Only for manufacturers”.

3. Fill in the description

   The block text for each language (HTML is supported). Turn on “Manufacturer logo” to show it next to the text.

   

Delivery, payment and advantages

Information blocks on the product page, so shoppers see right away how to receive and pay for the order.

Delivery options

Click “Add delivery option” and fill in: image (carrier logo), title, price, delivery time, link, expandable additional text and sort order.

Payment options

The same with “Add Payment Option”: image, title, short text under the title and additional text.

Product advantages

Turn on “Enable product advantages” and add items: image, title, text and link. To insert an information page quickly (for example, “Warranty”), select it in “Links to info page” — the title and link are filled in for all languages. “In PopUp” opens the page in a popup without leaving the product.
