Modules designed to work with characteristics
There are many characteristics in the marketplace, and it is difficult to keep track of their uniformity. Sellers enter data chaotically, which leads to chaos. It becomes difficult to control the conformity of characteristics on the marketplace, which negatively affects the catalog structure and product search.
At the same time, the standard CS-Cart tools do not allow flexible management of this process - the administrator can either completely allow sellers to manage characteristics, or completely prohibit them, but not configure restrictions more finely.
The “Options for characteristics from vendors” add-on provides options for managing product characteristics, allowing sellers to add new values only for pre-approved characteristics, for example, different shades in the Color section, but not to create new characteristics if this is prohibited by the settings. This prevents unwanted or duplicate characteristics from appearing, while still allowing sellers to add new values to existing ones.
Additionally, the add-on provides the ability to automatically set the uppercase for new characteristic values, which helps maintain a uniform catalog design style, improves its visual perception, and prevents inconsistencies in the writing of data.
Add-on features:
- Configure exceptions - you can allow adding options only for certain characteristics.
- Title case for characteristics - this setting helps maintain the accuracy and uniformity of data.
