There are three types of store pages you build in your Store Editor. These are: Home page, Section page, and Item page.

Item pages consist of products. Section pages organize similar or related products into categories (or departments). For example, if you were building an online food store, one of your Sections might be called Fruit, and it might contain three items--apples, oranges, and pears. Note: Although Price is not a required field, an Item page without a Price will be treated as a Section page in Store Editor. As such it will behave like a Section page. This includes appearing in your site navigation and not being available to be included in Promotions.

Typically, Section pages consist of links to individual items, accompanied by thumbnail versions of the images found on the Item pages.

• Create a section
• Create a subsection

Create a section page

1. Sign in to your My Services page.
2. Click the Store link.
   
3. Go to Store Editor.
   
4. From your Home page, click the Section button in the Editor Toolbar.
   
   Note: If you wish to have the Section name appear on the top or left navigation, you must be on your Home page, when clicking Section.
5. This takes you to a page with various editable fields.
   • In the Name field, enter a section name that describes the section you're creating. (For example, Gifts, Baseball, Printers.)
   • To upload an image to your page, click the Upload button.
   • You can also add content to other parts of your section page, like the Headline and Caption field.
   
6. Click the Update button to save your changes and view your section page.
   
7. Publish when ready.
   

Creating a Section from your Home page also creates a navigation button that links to the new Section you just created. The default page layout for navigation buttons places the new navigation button in the leftmost column or uppermost row (depending on your layout) on the Home page. You can rearrange the navigation bar if you wish.

New Section pages are created as children of the Section currently selected. This allows you to create a Section page containing subsections.

Create a subsection

1. Sign in to your My Services page.
2. Click the Store link.
   
3. Go to Store Editor.
   
4. Navigate to the section page on which you wish to add a subsection.
5. Click the Section button in the Editor Toolbar.
   
6. This takes you to a page with various editable fields.
   • In the Name field, enter a section name that describes the section you're creating. (For example, Gifts, Baseball, Printers.)
   • To upload an image to your page, click the Upload button.
   • You can also add content to other parts of your section page, like the Headline and Caption field.
   
7. Click the Update button to save your changes and view your subsection page.
   
8. Publish when ready.
   

If you set the Tiered-navigation variable to Yes, subsections created using themes in Theme Manager will display on your navigation as drop-down options when you mouse over the main section. This option is only available on first-level subsections and will not work with items or subsections of subsections.

Note: Creating a section using the Section button will generate a page ID based on the name entered into the Name field. If you wish to create a custom page ID for your new section, follow these steps.
