Preguntas frecuentes
-
What is the difference between Product Catalog Simple and eCommerce Product Catalog?
-
Product Catalog Simple is a simple and extensible base on which you can built your deeply customized product catalog, services list, portfolio etc. It has only basic features. While developing eCommerce Product Catalog we realized that many users are trying to disable some functionality because they don’t need it. That’s why we came up with Product Catalog Simple which can be extended but it doesn’t force any functionality.
Product Catalog Simple and eCommerce Product Catalog share the same base so you can switch between them without loosing configuration, products and categories.
