Extended tab¶
The Extended tab allows you to set specific product characteristics and add sources of information, such as documents, videos, or audio files.
Weight
Weight entered here is taken into account in the calculation of shipping costs. It’s measured in kilograms.
Dimensions L: … m W: … m H: … m
Enter product’s length, width and height in meters if the shipping costs must be calculated based on product dimensions.
Quantity … Unit
Specifying quantity and unit of measure is required for products for which a base price must be specified. The base price is the price relative to a specific unit of measure, such as kilograms or litres. Enter the product quantity per unit of measure. You can select a unit of measure from the list or enter a unit of measure that’s not in the list.
The base price will be displayed in the product’s detailed view.
Example: For a product that is offered in a 1.5 kg package, enter 1.5 in the Quantity field and select kg as the unit of measure. Assuming the product costs €3.00, the base price would be €2.00/kg.

Text for external URL
If you have added a link to an external website, you will need to enter the text for the link here. This text will be displayed in the product’s detailed view, together with the link to the external URL, at the end of the description.

Enter the product’s purchase price here. It won’t be displayed in the shop but can be useful for future analyses.
RRP (Recommended Retail Price) allows you to offer products at a lower price than the manufacturer recommends. If the RRP, i.e., the price specified by the manufacturer, is greater than the product price, the normal price indication in the detailed view of the article is supplemented by a "Statt" with a crossed out RRP.

The file can be downloaded in the MEDIA tab in the product’s detailed view. Use the Media URLs field to add multiple files and a description instead of just the file name.
Alt. Template
You can change the product’s detailed view to present it differently from the other products in the shop. To do this, you will need to use a specially created template whose path and name can be entered here. The path is relative to the template directory of the theme used.
Example: The page/details/mydetails.tpl entry for the "Flow" theme would call the mydetails.tpl template from the /application/views/flow/tpl/page/details directory.

Searchable
This checkbox is selected by default so that customers can search for products in the shop. However, sometimes you might not want them to be able to search for a certain product in the shop, for example, if this is a free product that is added when they purchase something else. This needs to be done to prevent them from adding this product to the shopping cart multiple times.
Product can be customized
If this box is checked, an additional input field will be displayed on the product’s details page and in the shopping cart. Customers can enter text in this input field to provide individual information when purchasing products. This could be the text that is printed on a T-shirt or a mug or an engraved in a ring.

If you want to offer software, please use the "Downloadable product" function.
Free Shipping
If this box is checked, the product won’t be included in the shipping cost calculation. However, even when this product is added to the shopping cart together with other products, this doesn’t mean that the entire order will ship for free.
Deactivate Price Alert
Customers can use the price alert in the product’s detailed view by entering a price at which they would buy the product.
Customer enquiries are collected under in the Admin panel. The shop owner can notify the customer by e-mail, prepared by the shop, once the desired price has been reached. Use this field to turn off the price alert function for a specific product.
