How to limit your bike ecommerce Catalog by category, brand + price.
The Problem
One of the most frustrating parts of managing a bike ecommerce catalog (especially during COVID-19) is setting it up to sell only the items that are profitable online.
Managing the catalog in this way is necessary for a host of reasons during COVID-19:
- Demand for bike related products has experienced exponential growth.
- Retailers have limited staffing.
- Supply of most items is critically low.
- Retailers have found that based on how they're set up, they can only afford to sell certain categories online.
Enter LimitScrew
limitscrew allows you to hide the Add-to-cart Button on your bike website for products by:
- Brand
- Parent Category
- Sub Category
- Sub Sub Category
- Price
- And you can set multiple sets of rules so that you can granulary control which items have an add to cart button
This is HUGE because it allows you to pick and choose the categories, and brands you've found that work for your bottom line!
While we believe that you should keep your entire catalog turned on because we think in aggregate you will make more money than if you limit the catalog, here's how to limit the catalog:
How LimitScrew works
LimitScrew is powered by your site's breadcrumb navigation scheme.
The tool allows you to restrict what products by the breadcrumb level, price comparisons and brand.
Let's look at an example to understand more.
In this breadcrumb example, Bikes is the parent, Road is the subcategory, Triathlon is the subsubcategory, and Diamondback is the brand.
LimitScrew explained
Set up to 4 rules to control which products you show to your users with the filters below.
level (required)
parent: In the above example the parent level is the "Bikes" position
subcategory: In the above example the subcategory level is the "Road" position
subsubcategory: In the above example the parent level is "Traithlon" position
level name (required)
The name is the word that you want to keep at the breadcrumb level you define. It is case sensitive! So if we want to only keep the Bikes Parent Category, we'd enter: Bikes
comparison (optional)
Acceptable value: Above or Below.
Choose ABOVE to only show items above a certain price
Choose BELOW to only show items below a certain price
price (optional)
Choose a price that you will be comparing against. Optional
