Areas allows group in a logically way the different categories and products of the ecommerce. They are managed in the BackOffice.
By default, there are two defined areas: Categories and Brands.
Categories will include all products divided into groups. These, as well, can be divided into sub-categories, depending on the needs of product classification.
Under Brands we have the products of the same brand. It is possible to create several areas, as, for example, for products in the homepage.
We can create an area clicking on the top button "NEW AREA". We must fill in the fields of all tabs. In case that we are forgetting a compulsory field, LogiCommerce will not let us save changes until that particular field is not filled in.
