Checkpoint: Make sure you have created the shop and previewed it externally in ShopFactory. And then close ShopFactory.
Required field: Item Number which is known as Catalog Number in ShopFactory. Product Name (known as Name in ShopFactory) is not a required field if you are using ShopFactory V10.24 Build 15148 or higher.
Let's start with a simple example -
I want to sell two types of Products in my Shop. I sell Flowers and Chocolates and want them to appear in two different Departments / pages.
So I would set up my spreadsheet like this.
