Hello,

How do you organize products into categories and sub categories?

Also, how do you extend to an order management system?

Hello and welcome, Huzza

The shopping cart module of Couch builds up on the other core features of the CMS e.g. cloned-pages, folders etc.
As such, working with the cart will require an understanding of the core features as a pre-requisite. Once you have that, it'll become easy to see the many ways that you have for structuring your online shop.

I suggest you please give a look (even cursory will do) to our tutorial http://www.couchcms.com/docs/tutorials/portfolio-site/ to get a gist of how things work in Couch.

After that you can see the Cart itself -

I am sure the questions you posted will be amply answered by then but, in short, the answer would be -
Products will be created as cloned pages.
The categories/sub-categories will be the dynamic folders.

Order management, I am afraid, is not in place yet.

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.

I've actually done a few sites using couch but looking for a modern simple cms to handle basic shopping cart functionality. Prefer not to go with Joomla as too complicated for customization and users.

How do users clone pages as this can only be done by the admin at this point? Thanks.

How do users clone pages as this can only be done by the admin at this point?

You can allow users (i.e. visitors) to create cloned pages using Databound Form (http://www.couchcms.com/docs/concepts/d ... forms.html).

That said, could you please let us know the use-case you are trying to implement?

Thanks.
