You can work with the following product properties in the Details pane. The properties described in this section are the product properties that come with Merchandising by default. Your administrator might have added new product properties that are specific to your Web sites.
General Tab
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Default display name | Name used for the product on the site. This property is required. The name does not have to be unique, as Merchandising assigns a unique ID to each asset you create. |
Online Only | Specifies whether the item is available for in-store pickup. If the Online Only value is set to No (default), the item is available for in-store pickup. If the Online Only value is set to Yes, the item is not available for in-store pickup and can only be purchased online. |
Sites | In a multisite environment, the names of the sites to which the product belongs. This property is read-only. See Assets in a Multisite Environment. |
Manufacturer | Name of the manufacturer of the product. |
Start date | Date on which the product is available, if a collection filter is implemented to use this property. See the Personalization Programming Guide for information on filtering. |
End date | Date the product is no longer available, if a collection filter is implemented to use this property. See the Personalization Programming Guide for information on filtering. |
Default description | Short descriptive text to display with the product. |

SKUs Tab
Property | Description |
|---|---|
SKUs | List of child SKUs of this product. |
Displayable SKU attributes | List of properties of the product’s SKUs that can be displayed by the For more information about this servlet bean, see the Commerce Guide to Setting Up a Store. |
Categorization Tab
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Parent categories | Categories that contain this product. See Working with Parent Categories for more information. |
Media Tab
Categories, products, and SKUs all have the same set of media properties: a template (on the General tab), thumbnail image, small image, large image, and auxiliary media. Your Web sites may not need all of these properties. For example, at most commerce sites, each SKU would not be displayed in its own template page. More commonly, a product’s template page displays all child SKUs of the product.
Categories, products, and SKUs all have the same set of media properties to give you as much flexibility as possible when setting up your catalog. For example, you might want to associate certain media items with products rather than SKUs. If SKUs are differentiated by a visible characteristic such as color, you might want to have different image for each SKU, rather than having a single set of images associated with the parent product.
For details about working with Media properties, see Creating and Managing Media Assets and Folders.
Price Lists Tab
Price Lists allow you to target a specific set of prices to a specific group of customers. For example, price lists can be used to implement business to business pricing where each customer can have its own unique pricing for products based on contracts, RFQs and pre-negotiated prices. For details about working with the Price Lists tab, see Working with Product Prices later in this chapter.
Note: Depending on how your administrator configured Merchandising, you might not see the Price Lists tab on a product’s Details pane.
