    Default How do I add products to a catagory?

    Hi Zenners
    I'm still new to this; but I'm s l o w l y learning what I need to do.
    I can't seem to figure out how to add specific products to a category.

    I am using the "classic" template that has the "test" categories and products such as "Computers, etc.

    I added 2 categories to the list, with description and thumbnail image (I'd like to make the images bigger too!)
    However, I don't understand how to add the individual products so they display with the price and the image and the ability to select them.
    Here's my link:https://robohostingsolutions.com/~la...php?main_page=

    I know it's probably obvious, but I'm not seeing how to do this.
    Would you help?
    Thanks
    Rick..

    1) Log into the admin side: https://robohostingsolutions.com/~la...catalog/admin/

    2) Go to Catalogue, then click Categories / Products

    3) Click the category name you want. Or use the Go To drop-down box at the top right.

    4) Once you are in the category you want to add a product to, look at the bottom of the page. There should be a button to add a new product.

    Hope that help a little.

    Also, there are some great FAQ/Tutorial here: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php

    Ryan,
    Thank you very much. I don't know how I missed it.
    I'm trying to absorb too much at once, or something.
    I still would like to enlarge the thumbnail image for the category.

    I'm also confused about the shipping price.
    My client wants to charge a flat fee of $4.80 to ship 1 pkg up to 20 pkgs.
    How would I go about setting that up?
    Does the link you sent along with your advice, have answers to these questions?
    Once again, thanks very much for your help.
    I really want to be able to do this right the first time.
    So far I've messed up a couple things and had to go back and correct them...and so it goes.
    Rick..

    The FAQ/Tutorial are loaded with how tos.

    There are a ton of configuration option under Configuration in the ZenCart admin, include image settings.

    As for shipping, you can enable and configure different shipping module under Modules > Shipping.

    Regards.
