Here you can define a new product option category to categorize product options that you offer together with products you sell in your on-line store. When you have entered the values, click the confirmation button to save the new category.

 

Display name

The name of the option category displayed to the users of your website.

Code name

The name of the option category used by developers in the code. Unless there is a reason to set a particular value, you can leave the default (automatic) option, and the system will generate an appropriate code name.

Type

Sets the option category type. You can choose to create either a Category with selectable options or a Category with one text option only by selecting the respective radio buttons.

 

Please note that categories with one text option only may be used to give your customers the choice of e.g. having some writing put on a T-shirt or an inscription added on the cover of a cell phone. However, from the point of view of the user, the option is defined for and assigned to a selected product as any other product option.

 

Localization expressions, i.e. Localize other languages (LocalizeLanguages), Remove localization (Delete) and Localize (AddNewUICulture), are described in detail in the Localization expressions topic in the Development -> UI cultures and localization section of the Developer's Guide.
