Search for a product
Cartzy has implemented a “search by keyword” functionality for its product search. You can simply type a keyword to search for the particular product(s). All the matching products will be sorted and displayed as demonstrated with an example in the image shared below.
Sorting the product list
You can sort the products list chronologically and vice versa by clicking on the arrow given at the top of the products list. It will sort the products by name in chronological order or reverse chronological order.
You can also sort the products by posts, type, SKU, vendor, and inventory by clicking on these labels respectively.
Products per page
If you scroll to the bottom of the Products page, you can control how many products you want to view on one page when managing products through the admin panel. You can use the dropdown selection list to configure the number of products you want to view at a time. By default, this value is set to 25.
Export products' details
You can also export your products in a CSV file. To do so:
1. You need to click on the Export option given at the top left corner of the page. You will be prompted to select the products that you want to export.
2. On the Export Products popup window, you can select between the following two options:
a. Current page: It will export the products that are displayed on the current view/page. For example, if the page currently displays only 10 products, then only those product details will be exported to the downloaded CSV file.
Also, if you search for a particular product by a keyword, and the page displays only two products in the result, then the exported CSV file will contain the details of only those two products that appeared in response to your search.
b. All products: Selecting this option will export the details of all the products that are added to your store irrespective of the current page view.
3. Click the Export Products button. A CSV file, containing the products details, will be downloaded on your computer.
Edit product quantity
There are two ways you can edit the quantity of your products to keep the inventory updated and make it reflect authentic data for the customers.
1. Add: It will increase the product quantity by adding the new value to the previous inventory value of the product.
