Overview

If a large range of items is offered for sale, they can be arranged into categories to make it easier for purchasers to sort and select their choice from your web shop.

There are two ways of displaying categories:

1. All offers are displayed with a drop-down menu to sort on different voucher categories e.g. Monetary, dining, accommodation, spa.
   
   This is suitable if the sale includes 10-15 offers.
   
2. Offers of the same type are displayed behind a category image. This is used if you are selling many options. E.g. you may wish to display offers under: Monetary, Dining, Spa and Accommodation. This option can also be used if you are managing sales for multiple venues from a single One Tree account. The offers can then be displayed by venue.

Offers can be displayed under more than one category. E.g. Spa day with afternoon tea, could be displayed under Spa and Dining. Add the required categories when creating a gift item.

Categories can be published or unpublished. E.g. A Mother’s Day category can be set up and unpublished after the event. The offers will be stored until needed again.
