    FAQ' s

1. For some reason, some products cannot be added to the shopping cart in the e-shop?

• Check whether the products that cannot be added to the cart in the webshop have available inventory or have the stock level 0. If so, there is probably the problem in the settings. Make sure the products with unavailable stock level are available for purchase. You can find these settings in Settings > Settings > Shopping cart

2. I have added new products in the admin, but I can't see them in the webshop, nor do they come up using the search engine in the shop. 

• If the change made in the manager does not take effect immediately, it means that the page has been pre-saved, and the change will take effect in up to 15 minutes. 

3. I want to make a product where the customer can choose different from variants: size, color, etc.

• In this case, a Matrix product should be created in the webshop instead of a Simple product. When creating a new product, you should choose Matrix product: 

• Detailed instructions for creating a Matrix product can be found here: How to create a Matrix product in the shop?

4. Why are the images in my webshop displayed broken?

• Once you have added the image(s) to the product, you should not change the location of the file in the folders or change the name of the file. If you do that the images will not be displayed anymore or will be displayed broken, because the system can't find the location of the file according to the original pathway.
